I Want It
Mr.Niceguy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna feel what that feel like I'm actually
Cause I feel like I don't feel a thing damn
And I feel like I need another drink man
I'm never sober and I feel like that's not my fault
But I feel like that might jus be all talk
I was raised in it and I raised by it
So forgive me if I seem a bit biased
I just don't know how to ask for it
I think I need some help
But I don't know how to ask for it yeah
Tired of sleeping on the bathroom floor
Swerving on the road at four in the morning
I've been black out at work
I wish I had me warning
They say when it rains but I've only been pouring
When the weather ain't right
And night time strike
I pour myself some wood on ice
It got a reign over me
Might as well rain all on me
When the weather ain't right
And night time strike
I pour myself some wood on ice
It got a reign over me
Might as well rain all on me
I think I need some help
But I don't know how to ask for it
I need some help
But I don't know how to ask for it
When it rains I pour
How come every time that it rains I pour
When it rains I pour
How come every time that it rains I pour
Poor ole me, yeah that pour on me
I pour lowkey I pour and hit tree
Till I'm cross eyed and crossed faded
My thoughts jaded my childhood is fading
Guess that's why I do it
I'm using habits that I saw
Parents wasn't to involved
I'm halting to a crawl
How I drive like this?
I hit the 5 like this?
Man
To many nights like this damn
When the weather ain't right
And night time strike
I pour myself some wood on ice
It got a reign over me
Might as well rain all on me
When the weather ain't right
And night time strike
I pour myself some wood on ice
It got a reign over me
Might as well rain all on me
When it rains I pour
How come every time that it rains I pour
When it rains I pour
How come every time that it rains I pour

Tired of sleeping on the bathroom floor
My excessive drinking has led me to pass out in the bathroom
Swerving on the road at four in the morning
I've driven drunk and it's dangerous
I've been black out at work

I hit the 5 like this?
I've driven on the freeway under the influence of alcohol and I'm realizing how reckless that was
Man
I'm overwhelmed by the weight of my addiction and the damage it's caused
When it rains I pour
I turn to drinking even more when I'm feeling down or facing difficult times
How come every time that it rains I pour
I'm questioning my own behavior and why I always turn to alcohol when facing challenges
