This was a great music video for me because I was finally able to combine a lot of elements I can been working on separately into one video. Those were lighting, steadycam work, color correction, green screen/shot splicing, as well as a narrative. Definitely one of my favorite and best music videos I’ve made. It’s still my go-to video when people want to see something I’ve made.

Dear Mother, hello from happy hour
I'm having drinks in the corner alone
Half-tipsy is when he comes to meet me
He looks like someone you probably know
But he's so charming, he's so slick
He's winning with the ladies and they can't resist
So there's the plot, now here's the twist
When I pop that top, then his lid will flip

He makes his entrance down the twelve steps in my mind
And takes a seat beside his partner in crime

When I go out, he buys the rounds until I've crossed the line
Between little old me and the boy in the bottle
He's the kind of guy who goes all night
Yeah, he comes out swinging, he doesn't know his limit
I got an evil twin and he's making my decisions
And you say sit down cause you're rocking the boat
But we can't stop here when there's one too many to go

Fast talking, the alcohol is flowing
He's picking fights with whoever's around
Takes gambles on more than he can handle
He's all dressed up and he's ready to drown

He's just a part of me, sometimes it ain't so bad
A personality that always splits the tab

When I go out, he buys the rounds until I've crossed the line
Between little old me and the boy in the bottle
He's the devil walking by my side
Yeah well, he won't' stop knocking, they say he's got a problem
The glass half full 'til I find him at the bottom
And you say sit down cause you're rocking the boat
But we can't stop here when there's one too many to go

He's always close behind but takes it all too far and when you Think he's finally had his fill, he's coming back for more
Now he's hijacking the wagon down the wrong side of the road
He's just a shadow that I like to call my own

[Chorus]
When I go out, he buys the rounds until I've crossed the line
Between little old me and the boy in the bottle
There'll be trouble if the two collide
When you can't get sober, he'll make you have another
The laughter in your ear when you're waking up hungover
And you say sit down cause you're rocking the boat
But we can't stop here when there's one too many to go
