Mitchell Tenpenny's poignant track delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship fueled by alcohol. The lyrics describe the protagonist's struggle to let go of a past lover, repeatedly succumbing to the temptation of reconnecting under the influence of alcohol 🍸. Despite their mutual agreement to end things, they find themselves drawn back together after each drink, leading to yet another "last time." The recurring cycle highlights the difficulty in breaking free from emotional ties when clouded by intoxication 🍻. Ultimately, the song captures the bittersweet reality of using alcohol as a crutch to navigate unresolved feelings and lingering attachments.
Alcohol You Later
Lyrics
Number one on my speed dial
I changed your name so my friends won't find out
But they're all heading home now
And I got word that she's hanging downtown
I know I shouldn't do it
Oh, but these shots I'm shooting
Make me not give a damn
And now it's one more last time
We swore we wouldn't
But it's one more sunrise breaking through these curtains
And I know when we're sober we'll both say, "it's over"
But it ain't really over
'Cause alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Two for one's on a Tuesday
Bartender poured 'em too strong 'cause he knows me
Then I take out my phone, find out if she's at home
'Cause I need someone to drink with
And now it's one more last time
We swore we wouldn't
But it's one more sunrise breaking through these curtains
And I know when we're sober we'll both say, "it's over"
But it ain't really over
'Cause alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
I know I shouldn't do it
Oh, but these shots I'm shooting
Make me not give a damn
Because it's one more last time
We swore we wouldn't
But it's one more sunrise breaking through these curtains
And I know when we're sober we'll both say, "it's over"
But it ain't really over
'Cause alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
'Cause alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
'Cause alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol you later
