Last Of The Whiskey Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

[Verse 1]
Last walk on the tight rope and last of the whiskey
The white lines and the red eyes and the way you kiss me
She's always goin' through changes, but I
I'll always be this way
And the headlines at the wrong time on the wrong side of history
And the high life don't feel right unless you're with me
Everything that I know around me is changin', it's changin' now

[Pre-Chorus]
You got those beautiful eyes
And I just wanna be lost
It's been one hell of a ride
And I don't wanna get off, oh, no, no

[Chorus]
That was the last of the whiskey
That was thе sweet summer wine
That was the last way you kissеd me
I think about it all the time
One more night in the city
One more night to let it go
One more time bein' petty
But that was the last of the whiskey
That was the last you were with me
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
That was the last of the whiskey
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I wish that I looked after you
I wish I stayed until your eyes closed
I wasn't there to break your fall
And I think that's why I've been spiralin' out of control

[Pre-Chorus]
It's those beautiful eyes
And I just wanna be lost
It's been one hell of a ride
And I don't wanna get off, oh, no, no

[Chorus]
That was the last of the whiskey
That was the sweet summer wine
That was the last way you kissed me
I think about it all the time
One more night in the city
One more night to let it go
One more time bein' petty
But that was the last of the whiskey (Ooh)
That was the last you were with me
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
That was the last of the whiskey
Ooh

[Outro]
Last walk on the tight rope and last of the whiskey
The white lines and the red eyes and the way you kiss me
She's always goin' through changes, but I (Ooh)
I'll always be this way

Genius Answer

I had a lot of fun with this one. It’s a real just stream of consciousness and an expressive piece. The production’s pretty sparse. It’s all about the vocal and the conversation. It really feels like that last wild night that you had with someone. It feels very visceral to me.
