Lyrics for Champagne from a Paper Cup as interpreted by jephque

Champagne from a Paper Cup Lyrics
I think I’m drunk enough to drive you home now
I’ll keep my mouth kept shut under lock and key
That’s rusted firm, no lie
Because all these conversations wind
On and on
On and on
On and on

Drinking champagne from a paper cup
Is never quite the same
And every sip’s moving through my eyes
And up into my brain
At half past two, about time to leave
Because the DJ’s playing rhythm and blues
Sad-sorry state, stutter step to those slammin grooves
As I’m waiting around for you

Think I’m drunk enough to drive you home now
I’ll keep my mouth kept shut under lock and key
That’s rusted firm, no lie
Because all these conversations wind
On and on
On and on
On and on

haha, to me it's quite obvious this song is about being at a shitty party and getting drunk off champagne to lighten the mood. I dunno. That's my take on it. But it IS quite the song. They all are.

WRONG...Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows is the most amazing lyricist ever!

the version of this song on chords sounds hollow. i downloaded a different one that sounds way better, has a tab bit different drum beat, a few more drum rolls into different lyrics

This song just gives me chills i love it, it rhythm makes you feel drunk. to me it's about a person who is in love with someone who isn't in love with them in the same way. But he can't bring himself to leave but at the same time it hurts too much.he drinks so that he can deal with the phoniness of the relationship, i know i know totally reading into this far from what would be obvious but its the tone i get for it

It's funny because this song describes my night last week. One of my favorite Death Cab songs.
