Viktor K. - Basement Champagne Lyrics

[Intro]
Lost in champagne bubbles, yeah
Drowning out the struggle, yeah
Sofia, why'd you have to come tonight?
When my mind ain't right

[Verse 1]
Empty venue, cigarette stains
You caught my eye through the haze
Dad lost his job at the mill today
But here we are, pretending we're okay
Popped pills just to feel alive
Your accent hits different at 3:45
Both running from something we can't explain
Working class kids drowning our pain

[Chorus]
Sofia Lindholm, you're my temporary high
Cheap champagne got me feeling like I might survive
Don't need no saving, but girl I'm barely alive
Two broken souls in this factory town tonight
Yeah, this factory town tonight

[Verse 2]
Got demons that I can't shake
Industrial wasteland, hearts that break
You speak Swedish when you're faded
I respond in English, so jaded
Daddy's whiskey taught me young
How to numb what can't be undone
Now we're sharing bottles in parking lots
Playing pretend with what we've got

[Bridge]
Sofia, Sofia
Why'd you have to look at me that way?
Sofia, Sofia
We're just temporary anyway
Can't love you when I hate myself
Put my heart up on a shelf
Next to all these empty dreams
In this town that's bursting at the seams

[Verse 3]
Underground show got me feeling low
Trap beats hitting while the mill's smoke blows
Your lipstick stains on champagne glass
Another night that wasn't meant to last
Both know we're too f*cked to fix
Just two addicts getting kicks
Playing house in broken homes
Trading trauma, skin and bones

[Chorus]
Sofia Lindholm, you're my temporary high
Cheap champagne got me feeling like I might survive
Don't need no saving, but girl I'm barely alive
Two broken souls in this factory town tonight
Yeah, this factory town tonight

[Outro]
Lost in champagne bubbles, yeah
Still drowning out the struggle, yeah
Sofia, why'd you have to come tonight?
When my mind ain't... right
