A little note that I take pride in: I’m actually a pretty solid whistler, and that is in fact me whistling on this track. I think the whistling was just another way of making a thematically heavy song a little more light-hearted and catchy. “Hey There, Liquor” was essentially written about drinking...
VERSE 1:
Well, her lips keep up when she's talking
But she sounds like someone else
And I thought we'd last for a lifetime
But it didn't work out too well
PRE-CHORUS:
Now I'm getting over her getting over me
Getting over heartburn, I don't wanna think
And now that I'm alone
I'mma fill it up until she never meant a thing
CHORUS:
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
And I said I'd quit ya, said I'd quit ya
But I'mma have like one or two
Cause I've been getting aches since she walked out
And I've been sober for five days by now
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
VERSE 2:
Said I wouldn't do it, but I'm
Way too deep in my feels, I
Just wanna **** you up sometimes
And I may not walk in a straight line
But I'm leaving her behind
PRE-CHORUS:
Getting over her getting over me
Getting over heartburn, I don't wanna think
And now that I'm alone (I need a drink)
I'mma fill it up until she never meant a thing
CHORUS:
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
And I said I'd quit ya, said I'd quit ya
But I'mma have like one or two
Cause I've been getting aches since she walked out
And I've been sober for five days by now
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
POST-CHORUS:
I've been looking for you
I've been looking for you
I've been looking for you
BRIDGE:
I'm all-a, I'm all-a, I'm all-a-lonely me
And I don't need, I don't need, I don't need
You
CHORUS:
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
And I said I'd quit ya, said I'd quit ya
But I'mma have like one or two
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
And I said I'd quit ya, said I'd quit ya
But I'mma have like one or two
Cause I've been getting aches since she walked out
And I've been sober for five days by now
So, hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
POST-CHORUS:
Hey there, liquor, hey there, liquor
I've been looking for you
