Hemmingway's Whiskey

if you see me out on the town,
and it looks like im burnin it down...
you wont ask and i wont say
but in my heart im always somewhere with you.
its a temporary high,
cause when i close my eyes im somewhere with you....
id much rather sleep somewhere with you
like we did on the beach last summer
when the rain came down and we took cover
you laid me down, whispered in my ear
"hold on to me, if you ever decide to leave then ill go, ill go"
you wont ask
i wont say
im so full of these endless rhymes
about the way i feel inside
i wish i could just get it right
well ive been down to georgia,
ive seen the streets in the west,
ive driven down the 90,
hell, ive seen americas best.
ive been through the rockies,
hell, ive seen saskatoon,
ive driven down the highway 1
just hopin that id see you soon.
hell ive seen a palace in london,
ive seen a castle in wales,
but id rather wake up beside you
and breathe that old familiar smell.
i never thought you could leave me,
i figured i was the one,
but i understand your sadness,
so i guess i should just hold my tongue.
every line is about who i dont wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something they cant diagnose,
dont have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
its so hard to have someone to love.
cause you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didnt wanna get caught..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe in us.
never thought id make it out alive
its all in your goodbye
