We met in a bar, it was rainin' outside
I was waitin' on a friend and you caught my eye
And you bought me a drink
and we talked all night over whiskey
You were leanin' in close 'cause the music was loud
It was just you and me in the smoke
in the cloud and thunder
And was it love or a buzz when you kissed me over whiskey?

And it burned goin' down
It was sweet pourin' out
Promises flow when you're that all alone and thirsty
Oh, and you dance the night away
You believe anything
The choices you make
they don't seem like mistakes when you're dizzy
Over whiskey, oh

We were caught in a fire, not takin' it slow
We were turnin' to ash and we didn't even know
'Cause everything glitters
and everything's gold over whiskey

And it burned goin' down
So sweet pourin' out
Promises flow when you're that all alone and thirsty
Oh, and you dance the night away
You believe anything
The choices you make
they don't seem like mistakes when you're dizzy
Over whiskey
Sooner or later, you sober up
And you know that it ain't love
No, it ain't love

And what made it all start and what made it all end
Comes in a glass that I hold in my hand
Yeah, I sip it again and I'm wonderin' if you miss me

Over whiskey, over whiskey
Over whiskey, yeah
Over whiskey, over whiskey
Over whiskey
