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
F
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 lists of your hits or your misses

But I carve my kisses in stone

I keep my past behind glass
F
But you don’t want to know

Seems like the closer I hold you, the colder it feels

We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real

Oh, I close my eyes and swallow your bitter words whole

I can’t decide, if I like it or just can’t let go

I can’t decide, if I like it or just can’t let go
