Drinking With Cupid

[Verse 1]
Two stools down from the jukebox glow
Cupid’s got his halo low
Arrow in the ashtray
Lipstick stain
He’s swirling cheap red like it kills the pain
He says
“Man
You look like a wreck”
Laughs as he points at my neck
Says
“Those marks? Yeah
I remember that girl”
Then he spins that empty glass like a loaded world
[Pre-Chorus]
He goes
“I missed once
Just once
Right through her goodbye smile”
We clink
We curse
We toast
To every broken trial
[Chorus]
I’ve been drinking with Cupid
Talking ’bout you all night
He keeps saying he’s stupid
I keep saying he’s right
Every shot is a snapshot
Of everything we blew
I’m wasted with Cupid
’Cause I’m still in love with you (oh-oh)
Still in love with you
[Verse 2]
He’s got feathers on the barroom floor
Gold ring spinning by the bathroom door
He says
“She found someone steady
Clean
Someone who don’t burn like a gasoline dream”
I laugh too loud
Then I choke
On every almost
Every joke
He says
“I aimed for forever and nicked your pride
Now you haunt your own bed where she used to lie”
[Pre-Chorus]
He goes
“I miss the mark
You miss her arms
We both wear our shame”
We raise our glasses high
Like it rewrites her name
[Chorus]
I’ve been drinking with Cupid
Talking ’bout you all night
He keeps saying he’s stupid
I keep saying he’s right
Every shot is a snapshot
Of everything we blew
I’m wasted with Cupid
’Cause I’m still in love with you (yeah)
Still in love with you
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to chugging guitars
Growled backing vocals creep in]
Slam the glass down
Hear the world shake
If love was mercy
Why does my chest break?
He screams
“Forgive me”
I roar
“Too late”
But I would crawl through every hell
For one more twist of fate (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ve been drinking with Cupid
Talking ’bout you all night
He keeps saying he’s stupid
I keep saying he’s right
Every shot is a snapshot
Of everything we blew
I’m wasted with Cupid
And I’m still in love with you
Yeah
I’m wrecked here with Cupid
But my heart’s still chained to you (oh-oh)
Still chained to you

Verses ride a gritty, swung groove with talk-sing attitude, pre-chorus adds rising synth arps and crowd-clap feel, chorus explodes with distorted guitars, screamed backing layers, and sidechained pads. Bridge dives into a downtuned, chugging breakdown before a final, high-energy chorus., edm, death metal, metal
