Intro
You walked in sober, now prove it
Verse 1
You pull up 10:48, loud shirt, quiet hands Somebody's playlist thinks it knows you better than your plan Living room smells like rum and bad reunions Your cousin sees you first, already waving something brown You dip the hug, dodge the cup, grab the counter like a rail Three people in this kitchen swore you'd fold before the trail mix ran out Your glass got water in it and your jaw is set like tile The whole room loud but your pulse is running single file
Pre-chorus
They keep filling, you keep pouring out Every offer a question mark, you keep choosing the period Closer, closer, here it comes now
Chorus
Still here, still clear Whole night and you still here Water in the cup, no shaking in the wrist Still here, still clear They thought you'd disappear Sunrise gonna find you standing, not a drop you miss Still clear
Verse 2
Your throat remembers warm tequila at this table Your knees remember dancing with a drink in each hand The body got a playlist too, looping what you used to do Somebody dims the lights and the muscle memory boots up You flex your fingers round the glass, condensation on your knuckle Two strangers doing shots look so relaxed you almost envy them Almost, you remember January, bathroom floor, the grout That month you can't scroll past in your camera roll
Pre-chorus
They keep filling, you keep pouring out Every offer a question mark, you keep choosing the period Closer, closer, feel it rising now
Chorus
Still here, still clear Whole night and you still here Water in the cup, no shaking in the wrist Still here, still clear They thought you'd disappear Sunrise gonna find you standing, not a drop you miss Still clear
Verse 3
DJ turned the bass up and somebody broke a bottle Glass on the patio and laughter over damage You're watching strangers hug like they invented the emotion Every hour here gets louder and your clarity gets sharper Like a photo coming into focus while the room goes blur Somebody crying in the hallway, mascara on the wall You're the only one who's gonna remember any of this Your sobriety turned forensic, you're collecting evidence
Bridge
1 AM, still standing 2 AM, still choosing The hardest flex tonight ain't what you're holding It's what you keep refusing
Verse 4
Here she comes, the one from every bad decision you archived Red cup extended like a handshake from your old life She says it's only one, says you're being weird about it Says the old you was more fun and honestly she's right The old you WAS more fun, the old you drove home sideways The old you woke up places with no memory of the stairs You smile, take her cup, walk it to the kitchen sink Pour it out slow so she can watch the lesson drain
Verse 5
3:07 and the party's just a pulse now Five people left, the couch catching confessions You grab your keys, the metal cold against your palm Nobody claps, nobody notices you leaving vertical Parking lot air hits your face like a reward You sit in the car a minute, hands at ten and two Not driving yet, just feeling what it's like to own the night Without it owning anything of yours
Chorus
Still here, still clear Whole night and you still here Water in the cup, no shaking in the wrist Still here, still clear They thought you'd disappear Sunrise gonna find you standing, not a drop you miss Still clear
Outro
Still clear
Inside the recording
You walked in sober, now prove it
They keep filling, you keep pouring out Every offer a question mark, you keep choosing the period
Still clear
