[Intro]
Rays through the curtains, I blink at the mess
Kitchen clock ticking, and I’m still in yesterday
Cup on the table, last night in the sink
Empty brown bottle, quiet like regret
[Verse]
Throat’s bone dry, jeans on the chair
Rubbing my eyes, bread’s gone stale
Phone on the counter, face in my hands
All of it spinning, stuck right here again
Thought of my granddad, grin in his eyes
Old man’s apron, dust on his shoes
Poured out the memories, strong and sour
He always said, some things mend slow
[Chorus]
When the whiskey’s gone wrong, reach for grandpa’s cure
White and cold, got a bite for sure
Crack the top, close my eyes,
Sip it slow, let it right the night
[Verse]
Bottle from childhood, cap barely clings
Cool in the morning, sharp on my tongue
Reminds me of laughter, and simpler things
Back when I ran, before nights were long
[Bridge]
("Don’t ask for answers, son
Just keep a bottle on hand
You’ll wake up tomorrow—
You’ll stand.")
[Chorus]
When the whiskey’s gone wrong, I know the cure
Grandpa was right, I’m coming round sure
