Drinkin' Songs
Reminiscing Lost Love Through Melodies
Lyrics
We knew every word the first time we heard it
We instantly connected with the song, understanding its lyrics deeply.
'Cause it was singin' 'bout us
The song resonates with our own experiences and emotions.
Stayin' up all night plannin' out our lives
Spending nights awake, planning our future together.
All the way to the end of time
Planning to be together until the end of time.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
The song became the soundtrack to our romantic moments and kisses.
It was the soundtrack to every kiss
-Wish I could go back before all this
-Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
-And tell the radio you were about to go
If only I could go back and warn the radio that you were leaving.
We'd sing about fallin' in love
We used to sing about the joy of falling in love, wishing those moments would last forever.
It couldn't get much better
-I wish I could make time stop
-In that chorus forever
-But things change and you're gone
Things changed, you left, and now I can't escape the memories when the song plays.
And I can't turn it off when it comes on, no
-Now it's just another one of my drinkin' songs
The song has become just another one of my drinking songs, associated with pain.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Reiteration that the song is now a part of the singer's collection of drinking songs.

-Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
-Now it's just another one of my drinkin' songs
-And it's like you're callin' into every station
Feeling as if the song is a constant reminder, making the singer reach for bourbon, wondering if you're hurting too.
'Cause it follows me around
-And it gets me reachin' for a bourbon
-'Cause I wonder if you're hurtin'
-The way I am right now
-Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Similar to earlier, the song was once the soundtrack to kisses, but now it's a painful reminder of your departure.
It was the soundtrack to every kiss
-Wish I could go back before all this

-And tell the radio you were about to go
-We'd sing about fallin' in love
Reflecting on the past joy of singing about love, wishing time could stop, but now unable to turn off the pain when the song plays.
It couldn't get much better

-In that chorus forever
