lyrics

I knew you’d be here
I thought I’d prepare
To turn you away
And avoid more mistakes
'Cause we’ve made enough
Since we fell out of love

But then we start sipping
Laughing, dancing
We sit and we chat
Taking shots at the past
Until we forget that
Things had ended bad

I know what you’re doing
But not what I’m saying
Cause I know that last call
Will be your last

Cause you only want me when you’re drunk
I only hate you when I’m sober
Wasted nights for wasted time
Pretending that this isn’t over
But if you keep looking at me like that
Then keep in touch with your friend Jack
And keep on filling up my cup
C’mon and drink up

My hands on your waist
Yours on my back
I can’t feel my legs
And I’m biting my lip
As your words tease my neck
I want all of this back

So I taste that whiskey
On your lips
It’s aged like desire
I’ve had to do this
For two years now
Has it been two years now?

Cause this feels like old times
And you’re looking damn fine
But any minute now
You’ll be Cashin' out

Cause you only want me when you’re drunk
I only hate you when I’m sober
Wasted nights for wasted time
Pretending that this isn’t over
But if you keep looking at me like that
Then keep in touch with your friend Jack
And keep on filling up my cup
C’mon and drink up

We cannot make this work
If it takes some numbing
For you to see my worth
We can’t make it right
But baby, we can try
To make this last night
One hell of a good time

Cause you only want me when you’re drunk
I only hate you when I’m sober
Wasted nights for wasted time
Pretending that this isn’t over
But if you keep looking at me like that
Then keep in touch with your friend Jack
And keep on filling up my cup
C’mon and drink up
