[Verse 1]
Woo, who are you to say, that I didn't love you?
'Cause I didn't love the way you wanted
And who am I to blame? When I didn't trust you
Enough to let you in the way I wanted, stop, okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Vodka on my lips (yeah, yeah), took too many drinks (yeah, yeah)
Makes me reminisce all the way down (woo)
To my happy place (yeah, yeah), you're my happy place (yeah, yeah)
I can't handle us now
[Chorus]
If I'm lucky I'll meet ya, flipside of the graveyard
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday
If I'm lucky, I'll meet ya, heaven or high water
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but maybe
If I'm lucky, eh
If I'm lucky, eh
Uh, I'll get your loving (yeah)
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday
[Verse 2]
Who am I to say, that it wasn't good, babe? Mmmm
Just thinkin' 'bout our loving gives me chills
Up and down my spine, uh, I dare you not to miss me, yeah
'Cause what we had was more than just a thrill, stop, okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Vodka on my lips (yeah, yeah), took too many drinks (yeah, yeah)
Makes me reminisce all the way down (woo)
To my happy place (yeah, yeah), you're my happy place (yeah, yeah)
I can't handle us now
[Chorus]
If I'm lucky I'll meet ya, flipside of the graveyard
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday (yeah)
If I'm lucky, I'll meet ya, heaven or high water
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but maybe (but maybe)
If I'm lucky, eh (oh)
If I'm lucky, eh (if I'm lucky, babe)
Uh, I'll get your loving, miss when you say (yeah), I really miss it, babe
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm selfish for you (ooh)
I'm selfish for you (ooh)
[Chorus]
If I'm lucky I'll meet ya, flipside of the graveyard (if I'm lucky I'll meet ya on the flipside)
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday ('cause things didn't) (yeah)
If I'm lucky, I'll meet ya, heaven or high water (ooh)
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but maybe (things didn't work out)
If I'm lucky, eh (if I'm lucky, babe, oh)
If I'm lucky, eh (if I'm lucky, baby, oh)
Uh, I'll get your loving (yeah)
'Cause things didn't work out in this life, but someday (woo)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm selfish for you (ooh, ooh, woah, I'm)
I'm selfish for you (selfish, ooh)
And only you, baby

And the subject matter I think is really cool, it’s one that has never been talked about – having a l...
