Happened pretty quickly
Jumping in with both feet
I go
Though I can’t see nothing below
So ready to give up my soul
Mm
Moving passed the boundaries
Into water so deep and cold
How could I possibly know
Which way the river would flow?
Oh-oh. Me oh my. Why do I try?
After I tasted your wine
You had me drunk in my mind
But I shoulda told ya
I’m getting sober
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Oh, tell me where the love went
Thought that we were something
Coulda, woulda, should been
Everything that we seemed to be
Was it imaginary?
Like we never danced in the dark
Never kissed in the park
When I gave you my heart you just ripped it wide open
You must be joking
From taking it slowly to crashing full-speed into hopelessly broken
After I tasted your wine
You had me drunk in my mind
But I shoulda told ya
I’m getting sober
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Oh, hate that I fell for that smile
But I shoulda told ya
When it was over
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Bet it’s driving you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
I was just drunk in my mind
Baby
Bet it’s driving you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
I was just drunk in my mind
Bet it’s driving you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
After I tasted your wine
Tasted your wine
You had me drunk in my mind
Drunk all the time
But I shoulda told ya
When it was over
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
I was just drunk in my mind
In my mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
I was just drunk in my mind
Drunk in my mind
I was just
I was just, I was just drunk in my mind
Emotional Intoxication and Sobriety
“Drunk In My Mind” by Benson Boone delves into the intoxicating highs and sobering lows of a fleeting romance. The lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability, likening the rush of new love to the sensation of being drunk—overwhelmed, unsteady, and prone to risky leaps of faith. Boone uses imagery of jumping into deep, cold water and being swept by an unpredictable river to capture the uncontrollable nature of his feelings. As the song unfolds, the realization dawns that the relationship was built on illusions, with Boone confessing he should have been honest about his emotional state. The repeated admission of being “just drunk in my mind” suggests that the passion was never fully grounded in reality, highlighting the painful clarity that follows emotional intoxication.
