Lyrics
we pick up in new york city, tryin' to find the man i never got to be, when i push down on the pavement, i found the whole thing so much harder than it seems, the only deal i ever signed, no devil drew a dotted line, the stage was set, the words were mine, i'm not complaining, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, water, water, water, sleep, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, wake up, shake it off, and repeat, it's just a phase, it's not forever, it's just a phase, but i still might have a ways to go, every night around this time, my friends and i, we treat it like a race, when i really start to break it down, i wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place, walking home with no one left, speak softly underneath my breath, hey world, you ain't seen nothing yet, great, now it's raining, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, water, water, water, sleep, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, wake up, shake it off, and repeat, it's just a phase, it's not forever, it's just a phase, but i still might have a ways, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, water, water, water, sleep, dreamed somebody missed me, wake up, shake it off, and repeat it, repeat it, repeat after me, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, water, water, water, sleep, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, cut me off and pour me in the street, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, water, water, water, sleep
