Fireball Whiskey

(album: Light, Dark, Light Again - 2023)

In the armchair over there
I can see a face in the upholstery
I can get anxiety from an inanimate object
An inanimate object, an inanimate object

And my backbone could've grown
But I think it's turned to softness
I think it is a problem
Like food that's going rotten
And you might say it's okay to eat it
But then it makes you vomit
I really hate to vomit

Except the one time I drank too much
Fireball whiskey cause I wanted you to kiss me
So I threw it up, washed my mouth
And sat back out on the couch with you
Sat back out on the couch

I planted my feet
And my hands were reaching back for you
Now everywhere I step into
I'm thinking about you fondly
Thinking about you fondly
Thinking about you fondly
This morning
I didn't want to get out of the shower
But hot water runs out
And you have to carry on don't you
Close and move along don't you
Just like letting go of you
I can't believe I'm letting go of you

The one time I drank too much fireball whiskey
I wanted you to kiss me so
I threw it up, washed my mouth
And sat back out on the couch

Opened up and settled down
Learning what we were about
Got close enough to pull away
Begging all that joy to stay
You were so warm, you were the womb
I couldn't stay, there was no room
I could love you anytime
I could love you anytime
I cry about you all the time
I could love you anytime
Love you deep and love for life
Love you deep and love for life
Love you deep and love for life
Love you deep and love for life
Love you deep and love for life
Love you deep and love for life...
