Whiskey nightmares

3 o’clock in the morning, baby
I can’t even close my eyes
Can’t find my baby, and I can’t be satisfied 

I missed you today, so quietly
So quietly, no one noticed
But to me. It was so loud
So loud it drowned, out the thunder 

Cause I’m stuck in the smoke and the world keeps turning.
Are these whiskey nightmares real or just the ghosts I keep returning?
Shadows on the ceiling, all the lessons I’m not learning,
Chasing after echoes of a calm I’m still yearning.

Drinking til the last drop of the bottle
Can’t stop, no matter how much I try
Gonna keep riding, until I drop
Whiskey tears, to erase my fears 

I played it on the radio, while you were sleeping 
Just to let you know, 
And for the first time in a while, I’m getting to close to the fire 

“’Cause I’m stuck in the smoke and the world keeps turning.
Are these whiskey nightmares real or just the ghosts I keep returning?
Shadows on the ceiling, all the lessons I’m not learning,
Chasing after echoes of a calm I’m still yearning.”
