Lyrics
It ain't the beer, it's the whiskey that made me call you tonight
The speaker attributes their impulse to call to the influence of whiskey, not beer.
I just want someone to miss me and tell me I'll be alright
Expressing a desire for someone to acknowledge their absence and provide reassurance.
And when you hear that sound, it'll turn your head around
Suggesting that a specific sound, possibly a consequence of drinking, has a significant impact.
It ain't the beer, it's the whiskey that made me call you tonight
Reiteration that it's the whiskey prompting the call, not the beer.
I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty about the circumstances or reasons behind the emotional state.
I don't know when
Highlighting a lack of clarity regarding the timing or resolution of the situation.
I finished this song a thousand times, but it won't seem to end
Indicating frustration with the difficulty in concluding or resolving a recurring issue, possibly related to the song.
Because I just want you
Expressing a longing for a specific person.
I just want you
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for the mentioned person.
It ain't the beer, it's the whiskey that made me call you tonight
Repeating the connection between the call and the influence of whiskey.
I just want someone to miss me and tell me I'll be alright
Echoing the desire for someone to acknowledge and comfort the speaker.
And when you hear that sound, it'll turn your head around
Repeating the significance of a particular sound in the context of emotions and decisions.
It ain't the beer, it's the whiskey that made me call you tonight
Reaffirming that whiskey is the driving force behind the impulsive call.
So, tell me how
Pleading for information on how or why the current situation exists.
So, tell me when
Repeating the request for details about the timing or resolution of the situation.
I won't make the same mistake if you say yes again
Expressing a commitment to avoiding a previous error if given another chance.
Because I just want you
Reiteration of the speaker's longing for the mentioned person.
I just want you
Reaffirming the speaker's desire for the mentioned person.
