Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Male Vocal]
We were smooth like Tennessee evenings,
Sunset slow dancin' on the hood of my Ford.
You were wild with a heart I believed in,
Till love got tired of keepin' score.
Used to be fire in your touch,
Now it's cold like last call hush,
I sip the silence, feel it burnin' down,
We don’t talk, we just hang around.
[Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal]
You say you’re fine, but your eyes look gone,
Like a jukebox playin' a goodbye song...
[Chorus – Both Together]
We went from whiskey to bourbon, slow and uncertain,
From rough around the edges to painfully perfect.
We used to be raw, now we’re just rehearsin’,
Actin' like strangers in the same old curtains.
What once was strong now barely ain't workin’,
Yeah, we went from whiskey to bourbon.
[Verse 2 – Female Vocal]
I miss the bite of your midnight kiss,
Now it’s sweet but it don’t hit the same.
You still hold me, but it feels like this—
Just a habit wearin' love’s old name.
We were heat in a mason jar,
Now we’re watered down too far,
I fake a smile at your “goodnight, babe”
But it fades just like the amber trace.
[Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal]
You used to shake me with your storm,
Now you’re safe, and I’m gettin' bored…
[Chorus – Both Together]
We went from whiskey to bourbon, slow and uncertain,
From rough around the edges to painfully perfect.
We used to be raw, now we’re just rehearsin’,
Actin' like strangers in the same old curtains.
What once was strong now barely ain't workin’,
Yeah, we went from whiskey to bourbon.
[Bridge – Male & Female, Alternating Lines]
(He) Maybe it’s time we call it what it is,
(She) A slow goodbye dressed up with a kiss.
(He) We’re aged too long in this same old fight,
(She) Still holdin’ on when it ain’t feelin’ right...
[Final Chorus – Both with Harmony]
We went from whiskey to bourbon, hearts behind curtains,
From reckless and real to barely just workin’.
We used to light fires, now we’re just burnin’,
Nothin’ but echoes and miles we ain’t turnin’.
One last toast to a love that ain’t certain,
Yeah, we went from whiskey…
To bourbon.
[Outro – Male Vocal, Softly]
Just a smoother burn,
That don’t return...
Like whiskey to bourbon.
