Lyrics:

Three Advil and a coffee
Could cure whatever ailed me
In my twenties:

Sunlight loomed like a wall
(On a late morning after)
I woke up in a well
(They threw me a ladder)
I said \\u201cthank God for y\\u2019all
(I thought I was a goner\\u201d)
They said \\u201cwe're happy to help
(At least \\u2018til you\\u2019re older)

Soon it won\\u2019t be last call
(That\\u2019s leaving you hammered)
It\\u2019ll be the plight of the world
(And the vanity of your efforts)
So keep your eye on the ball
(Your mind over matter)
And they\\u2019ll help find you a girl
(Sooner or later)
And when you fall down a well
(She\\u2019ll throw you a ladder)
And when the world goes to hell
(You can crawl out together)
Singing

\\u2018Darling you\\u2019re my Advil
Darling you\\u2019re my coffee
In the bitter light of morning
Darling you\\u2019re my Advil
Darling you\\u2019re my coffee
In the bitter light of 2019
Everybody trying to do the right thing
If only for their own\\u2019\\u201d

So Darling be my Advil
Darling be my coffee
In the bitter light of morning
Darling be my Advil
Darling be my coffee
In the bitter light of 2019
Everybody\\u2019s trying to do the right thing
Who knows? It might get done
