Gin Blossoms

Songwriter: Doug Hopkins

Producer: John Hampton Gin Blossoms

The last horizons I can see
Are filled with bars and factories
And in them all we fight to stay awake

Drink enough of anything
To make this world look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

She had nothing left to say
So she said she loved me
I stood there grateful for the lie

Drink enough of anything
To make this girl look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

Turn summer trees to bones and ice
Turn insect songs against the night
With words we build and words we break
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

Maybe I could use you to reassure myself
I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else

Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
And when the sin smiles, how could it be wrong?

The last horizons I can see
Are now resigned to memories
I never thought I'd still be here today

Drink enough of anything
To make myself look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk, in the gardens and the graves

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
