Waking up at twelve in my clothes again
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
Another night out late
I don't wanna drink
Don't wanna be a clown
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
Before it pulls me in
How come it ended up like this?
And who's gonna catch me
When I'm coming down to hit the ground again?
All by myself (waking up at twelve in my clothes again)
'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
'Cause you're a friend
I blame myself (feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
On the underground
With the freaks and frowns
Looking at the world
Through silver clouds
But then it all came down
I've gotta rise above
The emotional flood
Gotta cut these ropes around my hands
Pull myself around
How come it ended up like this?
And who's gonna be there
When I've lost control and I'm heading to crash-land?
All by myself (waking up at twelve in my clothes again)
'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
'Cause you're a friend
I blame myself (feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
All by myself
'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
'Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
It's such a shame
All by myself (waking up at twelve in my clothes again)
'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
'Cause you're a friend
I blame myself (feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
It's such a sin
All by myself (waking up at twelve in my clothes again)
'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
'Cause you're a friend
I blame myself (feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now

The song is, I think, about excess. It's about the cycle you fall into where you overdo the drink-drugs etc. and feel bad and wreck friendships and so on, but then you do it over and over again because it becomes a habit and then an addiction and then a way of life.
And all the time a part of you knows you have to stop, but you can't. And the people who stay your friends during this descent are your real friends, and you cling to them.
