Today I woke up and reached towards the bottle
To drink what was left of my yesterday
But genie waits at the bottom of that bottle
And I can't seem to drink her away from me
As I stand to my feet and move out into a new day
And try to put yesterday in the past
But genie seems to haunt me no matter where I go
And she drags me down to my knees
But genie and that devil are at the bottom of that bottle
(Chorus)
If I could only put genie back in the bottle
And not give her the power over me
And find a new life up over the horizons
And launch that bottle back off to sea
As I climb to my feet and move out into a new day
And try to put yesterday in the past
But genie seems to haunt me no matter where I go
And drags me down to my knees
But genie and that devil are at the bottom of that bottle
(Chorus)
If I could only put genie back in the bottle
And not give her the power over me
And find a new life up over the horizons
And launch that bottle back off to sea
