Half A Bottle Down

(album: Raising The Bar - 2018)

It didn't have the makings of a mystery
You've been leaving every trace
You said you wanted to talk to me, be better face to face
Here we are, here it is

Drop drop, shot by shot
Just trying to get ahead
Of the pain that's coming
There's no use running
I'll numb myself instead
Won't go too far, I'm just not ready yet

I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down

If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down

You may think I've had enough
But I'm still underserved
Still working on my armor
While you're working up the nerve
Take your time
You sure took your share of mine

I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down

If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down

Just one more
Till I get down to that line
And when you close the door
We'll both be feeling fine

I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down

If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down

It didn't have the makings of a mystery
You've been leaving every trace
Here we are, here it is
