"Soberish" lyrics - LIZ PHAIR

Everyone's got a maze inside their heart
The best we can do is pick a place to start
Meet me in the lounge of the St. Regis at 5
I'll be sitting by the window, wearing white

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I already told you
I'm not gonna make the same mistakes over and over
You can be mad if you want, I did a shot 'cause I'm terrified

[Chorus 1:]
I'm asking you, tell me why do we keep dicking around?
Waited such a long time to be with you now I'm chickening out
I've got so much to say, somehow it's never the right thing
I meant to be sober but the bar's so inviting

People are laughing and having fun
Leaning back and relaxing now the day is done
I know exactly what you must think of me
But baby, I've never been so glad to see somebody

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I already told you, it was love at first sight
And that's a frightening notion
I'll hold the light and you can read me what we owe

[Chorus 2:]
Come on, let's go
Tell me, why do we keep dicking around?
Waited such a long time to be with you now I'm chickening out
I got so much to say, somehow it's never the right thing
I meant to be sober but the bar's so inviting

[Chorus 3:]
Why do we keep dicking around?
Waited such a long time to be with you and here you are now
I am soberish and I can't make a sound
But I will open my arms up and wrap them around you
I will open my arms up and wrap them around you
