Description
There are nights when common sense quietly falls asleep somewhere under the bar counter, and flirting cheerfully orders another round. The air thickens with whisky, words and hints, and time seems to slow down, playing along with the chemistry between two half-smiles. Everything seems innocent - just a conversation, just a dance, just a hand resting on the waist. But at some point it becomes clear: either leave now, or stay until morning, with the familiar ‘I shouldn't have’ on your lips. And inside, a struggle begins between reason and desire, where the latter whispers louder.
Lyrics and translation
Original
This 90 proof we're leaning into
This midnight hour on these barstools
Has got us throwing caution to the wind
Ain't that how it all begins?
Then it's one touch, one dance, my hips, your hands
Then you can't turn back, been there, done that
I better go before I let
This buzz in my head get to my heart
I better run while there's still time
That look in your eyes is making it hard
To listen to reason and fight off this feeling
I ain't felt it so long
I better go before I don't
Another round of conversation
Mixing whiskey with temptation
Losing my inhibitions
Every time you lean in, whispering
"You should come over" I know what I'd say sober
I better go before I let
This buzz in my head get to my heart
I better run while there's still time
That look in your eyes is making it hard
To listen to reason and fight off this feeling
That's feeling so strong
I better go before I don't
Before, I don't turn down having just one more
Let you lead me out that door
Wake up, lying there next to you
Can't say I've never, but boy, I know better
I better go before I let
This buzz in my head get to my heart
I better run while there's still time
That look in your eyes is making it hard
To listen to reason and fight off this feeling
That keeps coming home
I better go before I don't
Mm-mm-mm
I better go
