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
