Addicted: Craving Love Like Tennessee Whiskey
Lyrics
I wish I was as smooth as your Tennessee whiskey
I desire to possess the smoothness and allure comparable to Tennessee whiskey.
Easy going down dangerous once you get me
My charm is easy to embrace but becomes perilous once you're involved with me.
Help you numb your pain but always gone by the morning
I can help you forget your pain, but my presence is fleeting, disappearing by the morning.
Maybe then you'd never let me go
If I had such qualities, perhaps you wouldn't let me go.
I wish I could be that enticing
I desire to be irresistibly attractive to you.
Wish I had a hold on you like
I wish I had a strong grip on you like any of your indulgences.
Any of your vices
Referencing the addictive nature of your vices.
Call me an angel and you
You call me an angel, but you find it easy to bid farewell.
say goodbye so easy
You easily say goodbye despite considering me an angel.
I wish you were addicted to me

Never leave the house without keeping me
Expressing a desire to be an essential part of your daily life.
Close to your heart and
Wanting to be close to your heart like a cherished possession.
If I could help you fade into smoke
If I could make you disappear like smoke, perhaps you'd stay.
Maybe then you'd never let me go
If I had this power, you might not let me go.
Wish I could be that enticing
Expressing the desire to be irresistibly attractive once again.
