This party's shit, wish we could dip
Go anywhere but here
Don't take a hit, don't kiss my lips
And please don't drink more beer
I'ma crawl outta the window now
Kinda hope you're followin' me out
But this is definitely not my crowd
Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain't too loud
Trade drinks, but you don't even know her
Save me 'til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so, wish you were so, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so, wish you were so, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
Trip down the road, walking you home
You kiss me at your door
Pullin' me close, beg me, "Stay over"
But I'm over this roller-coaster
I'ma crawl outta the window now
Getting good at saying, "Gotta bounce"
Honestly, you always let me down
And I know we're not just hangin' out
Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain't too loud
Trade drinks, but you don't even know her
Save me 'til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so, wish you were so, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
(Wish you were so, wish you were so, wish you were sober)
I wish you were sober
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish you were sober
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
Oh, I wish you were sober
Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
Take me where the music ain't too loud
Trade drinks, but you don't even know her
Save me 'til the party is over
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober
The song "Wish You Were Sober" by Conan Gray is a bittersweet reflection on a relationship that is being ruined by alcohol. Gray is at a party with their partner, who has been drinking excessively and is acting differently from their usual self. Gray doesn't want to be there but feels obligated to stay with their partner, who they wish was sober. The chorus repeats these sentiments, highlighting that while Gray cares for their partner deeply, they are struggling with this aspect of their relationship. The second verse portrays the aftermath of the party, where Gray tries to end things with their partner, who is too drunk to understand what's going on. Gray can't continue with this relationship as it is, and wishes that their partner would stop drinking and act more like themselves.

This party's shit, wish we could dip
I don't like this party, I wish we could leave
Go anywhere but here
Let's go somewhere else
Don't take a hit, don't kiss my lips
Please don't do drugs or kiss me
And please don't drink more beer
And don't drink more alcohol
I'ma crawl outta the window now
I'm going to sneak out through the window
'Cause I don't like anyone around
Because I don't like the people here
Kinda hope you're followin' me out
I hope you're coming with me
But this is definitely not my crowd
But this party is not for me
Nineteen, but you act twenty-five now
You act older than your age
Knees weak, but you talk pretty fly, wow
You may be nervous but you talk confidently
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed
You're wearing ripped jeans and just finished a drink
Take me where the music ain't too loud
Let's go somewhere with less loud music
Trade drinks, but you don't even know her
You're offering drinks to someone you don't know
Save me 'til the party is over
Stay with me until the party ends
Kiss me in the seat of your Rover
Let's kiss in your car
Real sweet, but I wish you were sober
You're really nice, but I wish you were not drunk
Trip down the road, walking you home
Walking you home down the street
You kiss me at your door
You kiss me when we get to your door
Pullin' me close, beg me, "Stay over"
You're pulling me close and asking me to stay overnight
But I'm over this roller-coaster
But I'm tired of these ups and downs
Getting good at saying, "Gotta bounce"
I'm getting better at leaving quickly
Honestly, you always let me down
Honestly, you always disappoint me
And I know we're not just hangin' out
And I know we're not just spending time together
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I really wish
Oh, I wish you were sober
Oh, I wish you were not drunk
