Feel The Burn

So I got this idea for a song a few days ago. To be honest, I've been terrified of writing it.  Yes, I've been scared of a song. As in my stomach turns and I start getting a little jittery. This is my first experience with song anxiety, and I don't like it! So, I've decided tonight, instead of tackling my homework, I'm going to tackle this song. There is no reason I should ever be afraid to practice my craft. I'm not sure I will ever put music to it, but it's a story that just belongs in a song. I'll probably regret it...but I've gotta do it! I will warn y'all, this is uncharted territory. But I've had a bit of single barrel and I'm feeling feisty! The story is a bit dramatized and  the bridge is completely fictional, but the it just had to go there. There was no way around it. I'm a songwriter, it's just what I do.

This wasn't a chance encounter
But it's  different than before
'Cause tonight my hearts been racing
Since you came through the door
Casual conversation
Singing 'long with the man on stage
Keep telling myself not to fall
But it's too late

You're everything I'm wanting
But I'm nothing that you need
Only one can win this game
And heaven knows that it won't be me
But I can't help ignoring
How bad this is gonna hurt
You're like a shot of whiskey baby
I want to feel the burn

You asked if I could two step
Bet you could tell that I lied
But you still spun me 'round the hard wood
And for a moment in time
It crossed my mind that maybe
Ev'ry broken heart led
Me to you, in this half empty bar
For this night, I'll never forget

You're everything I'm wanting
But I'm nothing that you need
Only one can win this game
And heaven knows that it won't be me
But I can't help ignoring
How bad this is gonna hurt
You're like a shot of whiskey baby
I want to feel the burn

So I'll blame it on an 80 proof decision
When the evening comes to an end
I'll let a stolen kiss in the neon
Lead back to your apartment

You're everything I'm wanting
But I'm nothing that you need
Only one can win this game
And heaven knows that it won't be me
But I can't help ignoring
How bad this is gonna hurt
You're like a shot of whiskey baby
I want to feel the burn

No I can't help ignoring
How back this is gonna hurt
But you're like a shot of whiskey baby
I want to feel the burn
