Pink Champagne


Top it off, a white carnation.
I borrow my mother's clutch,
Thinking the grass could be greener at last
Now that I'm all grown up
But expectation at night will be the death of me.
In a dress to kill and a glass to fill
I wasn't ready but I didn't fight

Pink champagne tastes the same
I don't want to feel this way

And looking back it was such a dumb idea
Five girls in the same-colored dress
Book a honeymoon and find yourself thinking
My life is a perfect mess
'Cause when you're far from the phone
I start feeling at home where I am
Thinking the grass would be greener at last
If I were on my own

Pink champagne tastes the same
I don't want to feel this
I don't want to feel this way

Everybody's saying "Well, if I were you"
Cause now you're such a good judge
When it comes to love
And everybody's thinking they know me and you
Oh, I can be cruel
So can you

Pink champagne tastes the same
And I don't want to feel this
I don't want to feel this
I don't want to feel this way

Pink champagne tastes the same
I don't want to feel this
I don't want to feel this
I don't want to feel this way

Comment
"I fell in love with pink champagne, it's pretty good. The cheap stuff? Not so good. And I thought about all the times especially young women associate pink champagne with a special occasion. Because guys are just too big a dick to like actually fess up to actually want to drink pink champagne."
