We pick up in New York City
Trying to find the man I never got to be.
But when I pushed down on the pavement
I found the whole thing so much harder than it seemed.
The only deal I ever signed no devil drew a dotted line;
The stage was set; the words were mine; Iâm not complaining.
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey;
Water, water, water;
Sleep.
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey;
Wake up, shake it off, and repeat.
Itâs just a phase, itâs not forever
Itâs 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.
But when I really start to break it down,
I wouldnât trust a girl who knew about this place.
Walking home with no one left, I speak softly underneath my breath:
Hey world you ainât seen nothing yet, great now itâs raining.
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey;
Water, water, water;
Sleep.
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey;
Wake up, shake it off, and repeat.
Itâs just a phase, itâs not forever
Itâs just a phase, but I still might have a waysâ¦
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey;
Water, water, water;
Sleep.
I 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.
