“Wish You Were Sober” has been released on 20 March 2020. It was the fifth single from Conan’s album, “Kid Krow”. Gray penned this song with assistance from American producer and songwriter, Dan Nigro. Nigro also exclusively handled the song’s production. It’s a story that’s been told through pop music over and over but Gray twists it into a complicated love song. Conan Gray, said he wrote this track about someone who found it difficult to tell him they liked him. According to him, unless the only time the person could tell him that they liked him was when they were drunk. Let’s watch the official lyrics below:
Wish You Were Sober – Conan Gray Lyrics:
[Intro] Wish you were so—, wish you were so—, wish you were soberSober, sober, sober [Verse 1] This party’s shit, wish we could dip
Go anywhere but here
Don’t take a hit, don’t kiss my lips
And please don’t drink more beer [Pre-Chorus] I’ma crawl out the window now
‘Cause I don’t like anyone around
Kinda hope you’re followin’ me out
But this is definitely not my crowd [Chorus] Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain’t too loud
Trade drinks, but you don’t even know her
Save me ’til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober [Post-Chorus] (Wish you were so—, wish you were so—, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so—, wish you were so—, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober [Verse 2] Trip down the road, walking you home
You kiss me at your door
Pulling me close, beg me stay over
But I’m over this roller coaster [Pre-Chorus] I’ma crawl out the window now
Getting good at saying, “Gotta bounce”
Honestly, you always let me down
And I know we’re not just hanging out [Chorus] Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain’t too loud
Trade drinks, but you don’t even know her
Save me ’til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober [Post-Chorus] (Wish you were so—, wish you were so—, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so—, wish you were so—, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober [Bridge] I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish you were sober
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
Oh, I wish you were sober [Chorus] Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain’t too loud
Trade drinks, but you don’t even know her
Save me ’til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober
