Whiskey And Chewing Gum

(专辑： Heart Shaped Bullet Hole - 2012)

Some love's like whiskey—it ain't right but it gets you drunk
Numbs you for a little while until the morning comes
When you finally figure out you can never drink enough

Some love's like chewing gum—it tastes good when it's new
But it don't take long till it's tired and it's tasteless to you
Like motions you don't feel, but you learn to close your eyes and just go through

Shouldn't it be easier to love someone
Instead of all these whiskey nights and chewing gum?
God knows it's hard enough to be alone
So shouldn't it be easier to love someone?

Some love's a cheap motel out past the city lights
With a heart-shaped swimming pool and a bottle of red wine
You don't think about the morning when you're checking in there for the night

Some love's a loaded gun in a box beneath the bed
You don't want to use it but you keep it just because you're scared
Maybe you'd sleep better if it wasn't ever even there

Shouldn't it be easier to love someone
Instead of all these cheap motels and loaded guns?
God knows it's hard enough to be alone
So shouldn't it be easier to love someone?
Someone

Stay one more night with my whiskey kisses
As hard as all this is

Shouldn't it be easier to love someone?
Shouldn't it be easier to love someone?
Someone
To love someone
