Whiskey
Intoxicating Memories: Whiskey's Echo in Lonely Hearts
Lyrics
Whiskey it'll get into your bloodstream
Whiskey has a profound effect, entering the bloodstream.
and it'll make you miss me like you never have before
Drinking whiskey intensifies the longing for the speaker.
And these cold nights will bring my name to your mind
Cold nights trigger thoughts of the speaker in your mind.
and make you wonder why i don't call you anymore
Questioning why the speaker doesn't call anymore due to whiskey-induced emotions.
Well it's been years since we last spoke
Years have passed since communication ceased.
But i know it's killin' you to be alone
Despite the time, being alone is difficult for the listener.
It's killin' you to be alone
Reiteration of the emotional difficulty of solitude.
And all of these miles that you travel can't make you
Distance traveled cannot replace the desire for companionship.
forget you want a hand to hold
Expressing the longing for a comforting hand to hold.
When you gonna let me go?
Questioning when the listener will release the speaker emotionally.
Oooooo, ooooo, ooo
Repeating the emotional plea with a vocal expression.
Oooooo, ooooo, ooo
-You know that I know that you don't
Acknowledging that the listener may not genuinely want to be with the speaker.
really wanna be with me
Stating the listener enjoys the company but not a deeper connection.
you just like the company
Reiterating the previous sentiment about companionship.
Well its been years since we last spoke but I know
Despite the years, the listener struggles with solitude.
It's killin' you to be alone
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional difficulty of being alone.
It's killin' you to be alone
Repeating the theme of the emotional struggle in solitude.
And all of these miles that you travel won't make you
Reiterating that physical distance doesn't erase the desire for connection.
Forget you want a hand to hold
Expressing the persistent need for a hand to hold.
When you gonna let me go?
Repeating the question about when the emotional release will happen.
Ooooo, oooooo, oooo
Repeating the emotional plea with a vocal expression.
Ooooo, oooooo, oooo
-We both know it
Acknowledging the shared knowledge of a broken relationship.
two hearts have broken
Highlighting the mutual pain of two hearts breaking.
yours came first and then mine
Chronological order of heartbreak, with the listener experiencing it first.
you came runnin' to fill what's empty
Describing the listener seeking to fill an emotional void.
and oh my god how I've tried
Expressing the speaker's effort to cope with the situation.
it's been a broken dance the whole time
Describing the relationship as a broken dance throughout.
Well its been years since we last spoke but I know
Reiterating the impact of time on the emotional struggle.
It's killin' you to be alone
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional difficulty of being alone.
It's killin' you to be alone
Repeating the theme of the emotional struggle in solitude.
And all of these miles that you travel won't make you
Reiterating that physical distance doesn't erase the desire for connection.
Forget you want a hand to hold
Expressing the persistent need for a hand to hold.
When you gonna let me go?
Repeating the question about when the emotional release will happen.
Ooooo, oooooo, oooo
Repeating the emotional plea with a vocal expression.
Ooooo, oooooo, oooo
