We fell in love in 45 seconds
You mentioned my eyes
And I couldn't get over your accent
You said I had the windows to heaven and back
When I heard you singing
I didn't quite know how to act
But right now I feel like
I'm letting you down
It's so hard to realize
You're not in this town
So I'll loosen my grip
I'm a burden you can't shoulder
When you've got a microphone in one hand
And a whiskey in the other
You knew a quiet spot that wasn't far
And I was free to make a memory with you and this guitar
Our voices got wrecked singing Springsteen at the top of our lungs
You were better being him
So I pretended I was Neil Young
But right now I feel like
I'm letting you down
It's so hard to realize
You're gonna forget this town
So I'll loosen my grip
You can't carry me any further
When you've got a microphone in one hand
And a whiskey in the other
We're an ocean away
It's been 45 hours
I'm picking out words to give to you like wildflowers
You said without a story a song's meaningless
Well I wrote you one and I tried my best
But right now I feel like I'm letting you down
It's so hard to realize
I might die in this town
So I'll loosen my grip
Knowing you will never hold me like a lover
When you've got a microphone in one hand
And a whiskey in the other
When you've got a microphone in one hand
And a whiskey in the other
