JAPANESE WHISKEY

We stayed up drinking the Japanese whiskey
That your father brought home from Tokyo
You said that I can’t go home until 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
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real

I wanted to be what you wanted in me
But if I'm being honest I can’t

You don’t keep a list of your hits or your misses
But I count 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
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real

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