[Verse 1]
There's a bar in the basement where the jazz band is playin' for free
It was our secret place, so I will not say the name, it's still sacred to me
I remember one night over candlelight
I almost set my hair on fire reachin' for your liquored lips
And I remember that one time, couldn't keep it all inside
Said "I love you", and for the first time, I finally meant it
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
I still miss that little bar
Oh-oh, oh
You still have my little heart
[Verse 2]
I shoulda known that'd be the case when you claim a bar as a place
That it wouldn't be kept safe from heartbreak or from grief
Say I'm twenty-two from Jersey, tell myself you couldn't hurt me
I was young, so in a hurry to say it was meant to be
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
I still miss that little bar
Oh-oh, oh
You still have my little heart
[Bridge]
Woah-oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
You still have my little heart
Went and ripped it all apart
And it may be in the basement
But you can't reach my little bar
I played it cool, I played the part
You made me a fool, left in the dark
You were always so unsure
But I believed in you from the start
You act like lovin' me was hard
I would have died right in your arms
I knew I had to walk away
And so you ran so fuckin' far, ah (Ah, ah)
From the bar
And from my heart
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
I still miss that little bar
Oh-oh, oh
But I want back my little heart
[Outro]
I wanna go outside
I wanna run and hide
I wanna sit in the corner and cry
With a whiskey on ice
I'll always remember
That's what you had, the last night of September
