I said up in New York City
I try to find the man I never got to be
Oh I push down on the pavement
Find the whole thing so much harder than it seems

The only deal I ever signed
The old devil drew a dotted line
The stage was set, the words were mine
I'm not complaining

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat

It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
And I still might have a ways to go

Every night around this time
My friends and I we treat it like a race
When I really start to break it down
When you trust a girl who knew about this place

Walking on with nothing left
Speak softly underneath my breath
Hey world you ain't seen nothing yet
Hey now, it's waiting.

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off And repeat

It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
But I still might have a ways...yeah

Wake up, shake it off
And repeat it, repeat it, repeat after me
