When The Buzz Wears Off

(album: Old School - 2016)

The sun is gonna wake up shining
It'll be the only thing that's blinding
When the buzz wears off
My bloodshot eyes will remind me
Of the pretty stranger sleeping beside me
When the buzz wears off

Thought the haze could erase all the hurt that remains, but believe me
Trying to forget that you love somebody ain't easy

Last night I got to thinking, if I get to drinking
Maybe I could fly higher than the plane
Girl, for a minute, felt like I was winning
Wasn't even thinking 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss
But you're still gone, you're still gone
Yeah, you're still gone
When the buzz wears off

I swore as the night got older
You wouldn't be hanging over my shoulder
When the buzz wears off

I could smile for a while, I was strong as the drinks they were pouring
Now I'm sober enough to see the truth in the light of the morning

Last night I got to thinking, if I get to drinking
Maybe I could fly higher than the plane
Girl, for a minute, felt like I was winning
Wasn't even thinking 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss
But you're still gone, you're still gone
Yeah, you're still gone
When the buzz wears off

Thought the haze could erase all the hurt that remains, but believe me
Trying to forget that you love somebody ain't easy

Last night I got to thinking, if I get to drinking
Maybe I could fly higher than the plane
Girl, for a minute, felt like I was winning
Wasn't even thinking 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss

Last night I got to thinking, if I get to drinking
Maybe I could fly higher than the plane
Girl, for a minute, felt like I was winning
Wasn't even thinking 'bout your name
I knew the shots were a long shot
Whiskey's just a temporary memory loss
But you're still gone, you're still gone
Yeah, you're still gone
When the buzz wears off
Ooooooh, yeah
When the buzz wears off
