JAPANESE WHISKEY Lyrics

JAPANESE WHISKEY Lyrics

We stayed up drinking the Japanese whiskey
That your father brought home from Tokyo
You said that I can't go home till it's empty
But my, my lips are dry

I don't like the taste, but I like how it sounds
So I stayed there and wasted our time
I tried to act like a man, but I felt like a child

Seems like the closer I hold you the colder it feels
Oh
But we only fall in love with things that ain't really real
Oh
I wanted to be what you wanted in me
But if I'm being honest I can't

You don't keep lists of your hits or your misses
But I carve my kisses in stone
I keep my past behind glass, but you don't wanna know

Seems like the closer I hold you the colder it feels
Oh
But we only fall in love with things that ain't really real
Oh
I wanted to be what you wanted from me
But if I'm being honest I can't

Oh, I close my eyes
And swallow your bitter words whole
I can't decide
If I like it or just can't let go
I close my eyes
And swallow your bitter words whole
I can't decide
If I like it or just can't let go
