It Dawns Lyrics

When I've had too many drinks and I start to think
Feeling sorry for myself
I'm black and blue and the world I knew
Is the bar to the top shelf
They give me words of advice, they try to be nice
But sometimes I just don't care
If I'm feeling alone I'd rather go home
Because there's no one there
I'm gonna be who I choose
If I can sleep off all the booze
And it dawns on me just what I'm looking for
It dawns on me
The way the past has come and gone
And the road that I am on
If I worry too hard about my cards

Then I won't play the hand I'm dealt
If it's as good as it gets, then I have regrets
Sometimes that's how I've felt
I can't break apart the past from things that last
Soon tomorrow's yesterday
I've got nothing to gain from things I can't explain
I try to stay out of my own way
I know that I will be alright
If I can get through one more night
And it dawns on me just what I'm looking for
It dawns on me
The way the past has come and gone
And the road that I am on
The truth is I can't separate
The sins from what will get me through the gate
And it dawns on me just what I'm looking for
It dawns on me
The way the past has come and gone
And the road that I am on
It dawns on me
It dawns on me
