Old Fashioned
Embracing the Timeless Elixir of Love: Daniel Pratt's 'Old Fashioned'
Lyrics
Girl I know your friends think that we're crazy
Addressing a girl whose friends view their relationship as unconventional or unusual.
But they just haven't seen love this plainly
Asserting that their love is simple and straightforward, unlike what others perceive.
When they ask what on earth is going on
Anticipating inquiries about their relationship from others.
Just tune your record in and play this song
Suggesting that the answer to questions about their relationship lies in listening to the song.
Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Comparing their love to old-fashioned, high-quality whiskey.
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
Symbolizing the richness and depth of their love with the imagery of fine whiskey.
But you are something sweet
Describing the girl as something sweet and desirable.
Sip you slow then repeat
Expressing the enjoyment of sipping the sweetness slowly and repeating the experience.
You're the habit I thought I could beat
Acknowledging the addictive nature of the girl, comparing her to a habit.
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me
Affirming that old-fashioned love has a strong grip on the person.
Baby I don't care I don't think I'd even mind
Indicating a lack of concern or hesitation despite potential challenges.
Between holding your hand what I'm feeling and the bottles of wine
Weighing the emotional value of holding hands against the comfort of alcohol.
Cause you just might be something that could stick
Suggesting that the relationship might be enduring or lasting.
Well at least I'd put my money down on it
Expressing confidence in the relationship by metaphorically betting on it.
Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Reiterating the comparison of their love to old-fashioned whiskey.
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
Emphasizing the richness and quality of their love through the whiskey imagery.
But you are something sweet
Repeating the description of the girl as something sweet and desirable.
Sip you slow then repeat
Continuing to savor and repeat the enjoyable aspects of the relationship.
You're the habit I thought I could beat
Reiterating the addictive nature of the girl, challenging the belief it could be overcome.
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me
Confirming the enduring hold of old-fashioned love on the person.
Cause we've had pain and lovers go
Acknowledging past difficulties in relationships.
We've been around enough to know
Asserting experience and understanding in matters of love.
That what this world really needs is something like you and me
Expressing the belief that their type of love is what the world needs.
Bitter with a touch of sweet
Describing their love as a mix of bitterness and sweetness.
Cold but it goes down with ease
Characterizing their love as challenging but ultimately smooth.
Old Fashioned love is what this world really needs
Affirming that the world needs old-fashioned love.
Old Fashioned love
Repeating the emphasis on old-fashioned love.
Old Fashioned love
-Yeah
Expressing agreement with the sentiment.
Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Reiterating the comparison of their love to old-fashioned whiskey.
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
Emphasizing the richness and quality of their love through the whiskey imagery.
But you are something sweet
Repeating the description of the girl as something sweet and desirable.
Sip you slow then repeat
Continuing to savor and repeat the enjoyable aspects of the relationship.
You're the habit I thought I could beat
Reiterating the addictive nature of the girl, challenging the belief it could be overcome.
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me
Confirming the enduring hold of old-fashioned love on the person.
