“I Drink Wine,” by Adele is the 7th track off her album titled “30.”
What is the song I Drink Wine by Adele all about?
This is a love song about two people whose various careers took a toll on their relationship.
The business of the duo, or one of them, and the desire to be greater made them busy and out of touch. They overtime became a different person from what they used to know and admire of each other. Their personality changed, and this affected the relationship.
Adele attributes the issue in her relationship to the social media voices which got louder than hers and her lover and contributed to the loss of the relationship she cherishes. She also blames her ego and inability to balance her career with the family as the reason for the break-up with her lover.
This song may be giving details about the reason for Adele’s 2019 divorce from her husband, Simon Konecki.

I drink wine by Adele Lyrics
Verse 1
How can one become so bounded?
By choices that somebody else makes?
How come we’ve both become a version
Of a person, we don’t even like?
We’re in love with the world
But the world just wants to bring us down
By putting ideas in our heads
That corrupt our hearts somehow
When I was a child
Every single thing could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun
But now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard, you work hard
Find balance in the sacrifice
Yet I don’t know anybody
Who’s truly satisfied
You better believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb
Feels like we’re both none the wiser (ah)
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Chorus
Stop trying to be somebody else
So we can love each other for free
Everybody wants something
You just want me
Verse 2
Why am I obsessing
About the things, I can’t control?
Why am I seeking approval
From people, I don’t even know?
In these crazy times, I hope to find
Something I can cling on to
‘Cause I need some substance in my life
Something real, something that feels true
You better believe for you I’ve cried (I’ve cried, I’ve cried)
High tides (high tides, high tides)
‘Cause I want you so bad
But you can’t fight fire with fire (ah)
Oh, so I hope I learn to get over myself
Chorus
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free (each other for free)
Everybody wants something from me
You just want me
Verse 3
Listen, I know how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all
‘Cause you’re all I’ve got left
Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)
We both will find (we both find) peace of mind
Sometimes the road less traveled
Is a road best left behind (oh oh)
I hope I learn to get over myself
Chorus
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free, yeah
‘Cause everybody wants something from me
You just want me
You better believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb
Feels like we’re both none the wiser
Outro
The only regret I have
I wish that it was just at a different time
A most turbulent period of my life
Why would I put that on you?
That’s just like a very heavy thing to have to talk about
But because of that period of time
Even though it was so much fun
I didn’t get to go on and make new memories with him
There was just memories in a big storm
