[Verse 1]
You’re leanin’ on the kitchen bench
Spillin’ all your workday stress
I’m laughin’ at the same old mess
But my jaw’s tight
My jaw’s tight
You don’t see the way I flinch
When you drag that story an extra inch
You say “babe
You’re quiet” as you top my drink
Yeah
You’re half right
[Chorus]
I’m one glass away from sayin’ what I really think
From lettin’ every little filter sink
From tellin’ you the truth you never want to hear (oh)
So maybe take your hand off the bottle neck
‘Cause I don’t know what comes out next
I’m one glass away
One glass away from every hidden fear
[Verse 2]
Your mates are laughin’ in the lounge
Footy blarin’
You’re doin’ rounds
I’m stirrin’ ice
Tryin’ not to drown
In the small talk
The small talk
Your mum keeps askin’ when we’ll move
Like my body’s some kind of proof
I bite my tongue till it grooves
Taste metal
Not the alcohol
[Chorus]
I’m one glass away from sayin’ what I really think
From askin’ why it’s always me who shrinks
From layin’ every quiet grievance at your feet (hey)
So maybe don’t you dare top up my cup
‘Cause if you do
I might stand up
I’m one glass away
One glass away from leavin’ this seat
[Bridge]
What if I said I hate this town?
That I’m tired of playin’ the “cool girl” down?
What if I said your dad’s not kind
Just loud
And you’re just like him sometimes? (oh)
What if I said I saved enough
To pack a bag
To call your bluff?
Would you still call me “love”
When the room goes rough?
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m one glass away from sayin’ what I really think
From watchin’ every careful story kink
From throwin’ all our plans into the sink (woah)
So maybe take your hand off the bottle neck
Look me in the eye instead
I’m one glass away
One glass away from changin’ everything
[Outro]
You say
“Just one more?” with that crooked grin
I put my palm on the rim
“Think I’ve had enough
” I whisper
And that’s the truest thing I’ve ever said
