Lyrics:
Heading for the door
Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there

I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right

If ever there’s a time
If ever there’s a time that ain’t fair
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk just stay here
You know it’s just a fight

I know you wanna ride

If you’re never getting out of this mood
Forget you
If you’re drinking all your old man’s booze
He’ll get you
Forget you

Stop looking for a knife
Stop looking through the drawer it ain’t there
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk to drive just stay there
You know it’s just a fight

Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there

I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right

I know you wanna ride
I know you won the right

    I miss the early ‘00s rock music and this is taking me back in some way. Thank you.
  • @paulnnate
    Thanks Royel Otis for bringing us beautiful music.
  • @yourhealthkick
    You know when the older generations say "they don't make music like this anymore". They just haven't discovered this or any other indie music yet.
  • @jamesfoster4106
    My family & I saw these guys at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta this past weekend. I was personally there for other bands. My son wanted me to check them out, I had never heard them. I was captivated by their sound immediately. Definitely the best surprise and one of my favorite performances of the whole weekend. Sooooo glad I saw them and now have a new band to follow.

    This song has regained my trust in modern music. I’m so, so happy that this song exists. I’m getting vibes from the 80s with this banger

    I don’t know how to explain how fuzzy and hopeful this music helps me feel. Love this ❤
  • @caleb700
    Here from the cover of Linger and I am already a huge fan. I have such a deep emotional connection to Indie/Alternative/Experimental type music and Royel Otis hits that nail right on the head. From everything I am hearing you guys will definitely be added to my daily playlist. ❤️
  • @jesss5578
    You guys never release a bad song, hits the vibe every time. This album is gonna be crazy 🔥
  • This song is special. It’s new but feels nostalgic. Reminds me of the indie music that was around 10-15 years ago, in a good way
  • @TheVick456
    i actually can’t stop listening to this lately.. on repeat all the time
  • @Riudan
