We pick up in New York City
I'm tryin' to find the man I never got to be
But when I push down on the pavement
Find the whole thing so much harder than it seems
The only deal I ever signed
No devil drew a dotted line
The stage was set, the words were mine
I'm not complaining
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat
It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
But I still might have a ways to go
Every night around this time
My friends and I we treat it like a race
But when I really start to break it down
I wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place
Walking on with no one left
Speak softly underneath my breath
Hey world you ain't seen nothing yet
Great, now it's raining
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat
It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
But I still might have a ways
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Dreamed somebody missed me
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat it, repeat it, repeat after me
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Cuttin' me off and pour me in the street
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
