Sober Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sober, we’re not really but we once were
You perch right upon my shoulder, you tell me, “Go to hell”
Laughing, and we’re teary but we’re laughing
I’ve been fine, yeah, thanks for asking
You’ve been just as well
[Chorus]
And I think in time or another life
Under yellow light, you would move your face just closer
I’d blame it on the high, kiss and then we’d sigh
Kiss again and say, “Come over”
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Got sick, when you held my hair, I liked it
I’m a party, you’re invited, you ring my bеll
I miss you from across the room, I wish you’d
Read my mind, you turn me see through (Uh)
Oh, can’t you tеll? (Uh)
[Chorus]
But I think in time (Time) or another life (Life)
We would know we’re right (Right), I would move my face just closer
I’d (I’d) blame it on the night (Night), kiss and then we’d sigh (Sigh)
Kiss again and say, “Come over”
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh, come over
Ooh (Uh)
[Chorus]
And I think in time (Time) or another life (Life)
Under yellow light (Light), you would move your face just closer
I’d (I’d) blame it on the high (High), kiss and then we’d sigh (Sigh)
Kiss again and say, “Come over”
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh, oh, come over
Ooh

Song Bio of Sober
Gracie Abrams doesn’t do closure quietly. “Sober” catches her mid-memory, somewhere between a laugh and a lump in the throat, replaying a night that should’ve stayed buried. Over Aaron Dessner’s hushed, aching production, she toys with the idea of a redo — another life, another room, the same person leaning in under low light.
It’s less a love song than a confession of what almost happened, dressed up in half-smiles and quiet regret. Off her album “Daughter from Hell,” released July 17, 2026, “Sober” feels like Abrams at her most disarming — soft-spoken, a little reckless, impossible to look away from.
