Don is sitting at his desk with the bottle of whiskey on it. He stares at it while Olivia walks in. He looks up at her with his eyes filled with tears.
No I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew thats
probably what you'd think
If I dropped by this time of
night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At
one of those meetings down at the Y
She sat down in the seat in front of him and looked at the bottle.
Well, they started talkin bout steps you
take
Mistakes you make
The hearts you break
And the price
you pay
I almost walked away
You could hear a pin drop
When
this old man
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again
Like I
do every week
For those who don't know me
He smiled at her. She put her hand on his on the desk.
It's the simple
things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you
miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love
starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no
fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been
there, that's why I'm here
Elliot walked in and smiled at the two sitting there talking.
This ole
boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been living a life of
denial
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't
believe what I heard
It was my life word for word
And all of
the sudden it was clear
It's the simple things in life
Like
the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when
you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The
devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one
more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
The rest of the squad walked in and John took the bottle off the desk. He smiled at Don and walked out with it. They all walked out into the bullpen and John through the bottle into a trash bin. He lit a match and through it in. The whole inside burst into flames. They looked at Don who was staring into the fire. He had a slight smile on his face.
I
know for us it may be too late
But it would mean the world to
me
If you were there when I stand to say
It's the simple things
in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss
the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to
disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have
another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why
I'm here
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
