Liquor
Scorpion Child_(p) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been aching lately baby
To see you again
And lose another friend
Over drinking baby
I'm thinking I'll be with you again

I used to think that my life would end hungover
A nauseating way to say goodbye
Autumn eye come and shift the winter seesaw
Dark high I can't side with another lifestyle

C'mon now
Remember every day
It never went away

I been burnin' the candle at both ends sober
With an over-intoxicated mind
Lend me just one reason to live life solo
Oh no I can't side without you in my lifetime

C'mon now
Remember every day
It never went away

I've been aching lately baby
To see you again
And lose another friend
Over drinking baby
I'm thinking I'll be with you again

Dope sick in a town of four-leaf clover
And now it's over
A fight I lose no more
Rest my head in a better place I call home
Up high I can't side without you in my lifeline

C'mon now
Remember every day
It never went away

I've been aching lately baby
To see you again
And lose another friend
Over drinking baby
I'm thinking I'll be with you again

Sat right down beside me
And saw my fortune inside a dream
Sat right down beside me
And saw my fortune inside a dream
Sat right down beside me
And saw my fortune inside a dream

I've been aching lately baby
To see you again
And lose another friend




Over drinking baby
I'm thinking I'll be with you again
