Being Jack Savoretti’s first studio single in 2017, Whiskey Tango talks about the singer’s will to take the right decisions, but always failing at it, causing his love to fall to pieces. The sad topic of the lyrics are a little twist to the happy, more uplifting, tone of the song’s melody.
This son...
[Intro]
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Whiskey tango
From the top
I will blow your mind
I just can't stop
Burn a candle
In my name
You can bury me
With all my shame
[Pre-Chorus]
The poison of sadness
The breaking of the heart
The echo of madness
Tearing us apart
Oh, it's tearing us apart
[Chorus]
I've been falling for the day (falling for)
Like I'm falling for the night (I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light (I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but I just can't get it right
No, I just can't get it right
[Post-Chorus]
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Do you remember
All of my words?
How I promised you
What you deserved?
I'm a liar
I'm a thief
But I need you more
Than you need me
[Pre-Chorus]
The poison of sadness
The breaking of the heart
The echo of madness
Tearing us apart
Oh, it's tearing us apart
[Chorus]
I've been falling for the day (falling for)
Like I'm falling for the night (I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light (I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but I just can't get it right
No, I just can't get it, oh, oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, oh, oh (oh, hey, hey)
Huh, huh, huh, huh (oh, oh, oh)
Huh, oh, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
The poison of sadness
The breaking of the heart
The echo of madness
Tearing us apart
Hey, oh, I'm tearing us apart
[Chorus]
I've been falling for the day (falling for)
Like I'm falling for the night (I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light (I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but I just can't get it right (I've falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night (I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light (I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but I just can't get it right
Oh, no, I just can't get it, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
Oh, hey-ey
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
