Lyrics for Drink To Me, Babe, Then as interpreted by uglycellardoor

Drink To Me, Babe, Then Lyrics
Come to me, please, all these years fall through,
Through the cracks and now this perfect view,
On the upside, both sides win.
On the downside, we buy, we pull through,
Through the pouring choices rich kids choose,
On a landslide, you ride in.

Drink to me, babe, then.
Think of me, babe, then.
Lady, we both know what the scores don't show,
Drink to me, babe, then

Now it's come home, held on, held the truth,
Like a threat to point-blank eyes as proof,
You were too shy to lie to.
We're offended, shocked our plan would fail,
Now you've wandered farther from the trail,
On a landslide you ride in.

chorus x2

It's quite an interesting Break Up song tho, it's not the normal finger pointing and the music is quite happy. Although, there's something drunken about it.

Best line has to be "We're offended, shocked our plan would fail", cause I think that sums up a lot of what happens.

I think he's basically saying:
"Think about me fondly, we just didn't work."

what the scores don't show represents a relationship that on paper is failed and over. but, "what the scores don't show" (common sports term) is the actual chemistry, and good things that came out of the "years that fell through" in the relationship. the small victories. the ones that didn't win the game, but still were meaningful to those involved.

baby we both know, what the scores don't show.

drink to me, babe, then.

this song is awesome.

I agree with Variable ... The whistling at the end makes this song probably my favorite off of The Slow Wonder. This is one of those albums I didn't need to listen to a couple times in order to like it; I fell in love with it immediately! Two thumbs way up!
