Lyrics
Drinking from the Bottle
Written by Jay Matthes
First verse:

and greener grass on the other side

Haven't seen her since half past eight
Pre-chorus:
Even before I came I knew

Chorus
Bridge:
I'm just trying to turn the page
Your memory don't better with age
but I got something here that does
and when I think about what was
