Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lipstick on a glass

Name I shouldn’t say

You trace every scar

Ask who put them there

You laugh

Then you freeze

Your hands start to shake

You say she liked this song

Then you look away

[Pre-Chorus]

We both got ghosts in our pockets

We both keep sipping them down

I don’t wanna pry them open

But they spill when you’re around (yeah)

[Chorus]

Taste like whiskey

Taste like love

Bittersweet on my tongue

Every kiss wakes up the stories

We pretend we’ve outrun

Touch me like you don’t remember

All the hearts we came from

We’re just two late-night confessions

Learning how to come undone

[Verse 2]

You ask if I’d stay

If you lost your edge

I say “Baby

Right now

You’re already on the ledge”

I think of his jacket

Still behind my door

You think of her perfume

In your second drawer

[Pre-Chorus]

We both keep circling the edges

Of the things we can’t take back

You say “pour another secret”

I say “only if you match” (oh)

[Chorus]

Taste like whiskey

Taste like love

Bittersweet on my tongue

Every kiss wakes up the stories

We pretend we’ve outrun

Touch me like you don’t remember

All the hearts we came from

We’re just two late-night confessions

Learning how to come undone

[Bridge]

[Male vocal

Low

Spoken]

You know I still see her

When your shadow hits the wall

[Female vocal]

I still hear him in my mirror

When I’m taking this off

[Both]

We’re tangled in the almosts

The things we never said

But your hand fits like a habit

I can’t shake from my head (hey)

[Chorus]

Taste like whiskey

Taste like love

Bittersweet on my tongue

Every kiss wakes up the stories

We pretend we’ve outrun

Touch me like you don’t remember

All the hearts we came from

We’re just two late-night confessions

Learning how to come undone

[Outro]

One more sip

Then silence

One more lie

Then truth

If regret can feel like comfort

I’ll spend the night with you
