[Verse 1] I empty the fridge You empty the bottle Were stacking up a mountain of hard pills well have to swallow Its strange how we point our flaws at one another We both got different vices and they lead us to each other [PreChorus] Cause you over drink, and I overeat Were under thinking everything And every night, we swear its gonna change But in a perfect world [Chorus] You get sober I get skinny, we live off of more than pennies Writing checks that we can cash, keeping all our promises We got faith, we got each other We grow up and we get better Things need fixing, we got plenty When you get sober, Ill get skinny, mmm When you get sober, Ill get skinny [Verse 2] You want me to shrink, but I think we should talk to one Find a comfy couch and let out all the hurt weve kept inside Since we were young and so numb Now we find ways to cover up If we keep going how were going, what will we become? Cause in a perfect world [Chorus] You get sober I get skinny, we live off of more than pennies Writing checks that we can cash, keeping all our promises We got faith, we got each other We grow up and we get better Things need fixing, we got plenty When you get sober, Ill get skinny, oh, oh yeah [Bridge] It s easy to imagine, Imagine All our problems disappear like magic, magic But in an honest world, youre not sober Im not skinny, we re scraping by on borrowed pennies Writing checks theyll never cash, breaking all our promises [Chorus 2] But we got faith We got each other Maybe we ll grow old together Making up our happy ending When you get sober, Ill get skinny Oh, oh When you get sober, Ill get skinny oh When you get sober, Ill get skinny Oh, oh When you get sober, Ill get skinny [Outro] It s easy to imagine It s easy to imagine
