Cameron Whitcomb - Options Lyrics



Cameron Whitcomb - Options Lyrics




Is it a relapse if it's just a drink?
+
A picture perfect party full of friends I used to keep
+
My favourite vices I used to need
+
Are lined up on the countertop, and they're calling out to me
+
Would I still survive it, or have I lost my edge?
+
You're never quite alive as when you're shaking hands with death
+
Would I still remember how to lose my mind?
+
Oh, I'd like to think I might
+
I won't, but I could pull that bottle off that shelf
+
It helps me cope knowing I could be that version of myself
+
Could disappear for a week, for a month, for a year
+
Wake up at home or in a coffin
+
It's nice to know I got options
+
Oh, I can hear that quiet knock
+
I open up the door I could've swore I triple locked
+
Invite my skeletons to come on in, with their hollow eyes and that awful itch
+
And we're chewing through the air to tell a story
+
Would I still survive it, or have I lost my edge?
+
You're never quite alive as when you're shaking hands with death
+
Would I still remember how to lose my mind?
+
Well, I might just give it a try
+
I won't, but I could pull that bottle off that shelf
+
It helps me cope knowing I could be that version of myself
+
Could disappear for a week, for a month, for a year
+
Wake up at home or in a coffin
+
It's nice to know I got options
+
Oh, I got options
+
Long as that devil on my shoulder and my angel keep talking
+
I got options
+
Oh, I got options
+
Long as my hell ain't frozen over, oh, it's nice to know
+
I won't, but I could pull that bottle off that shelf
+
It helps me cope knowing I could be that version of myself
+
Could disappear for a week, for a month, for a year
+
Wake up at home or in a coffin
+
It's nice to know
+
That I won't, but I could pull that bottle off that shelf
+
It helps me cope knowing I could be that version of myself
+
I'll disappear for a week, for a month, for a year
+
Wake up at home or in a coffin
+
It's nice to know I got options
+

Cameron Whitcomb - Options Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Options" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb. He wrote the track with Cal Shapiro, Nolan Sipe, and Jack Riley, the latter of whom produced it. The song is the title track for an extended play of the same name.

In an interview, Whitcomb stated the idea for the song came to him from a dream he had been having "for a long time" after he got sober. The dream involved him remaining sober for ten years, then taking a private jet to the Yukon, bringing whisky and cocaine, and "[getting] weird" for a week. He remarked, "I'll never do it, but the idea that I'm in control, and the idea that what my life will be whatever I make it, is a big reason why I'm able to stay sober. Having these options instead of feeling like you're trapped. I get to be sober. I get to make these choices". Whitcomb said the song's lyrics "[paint] this picture of exactly showing up to that cabin way out in the Yukon".

Victoria Goodwin of Melodic Magazine opined that, "for those who have struggled with addiction or know someone who has, Whitcomb's willingness to be so vulnerable about the shadows of his past while standing firm in his present is what makes this song so powerful".
