Tonight is sweet -
When you came in and took a seat
We haven't done this in a while
Clinking glasses,
Talking about horrible bosses
An old friend from a lost time
Felt like decades;
Now here we are, flipping more pages.

I still know you by the way,
Even under the influence of this lemon sour
You, who took several wedges from mine
Filling your perspiring glass
Truly, top of our class
Bittersweet, to see you again
Who's holding your hand?

I have less of the tangy fruit
If you need it, I'll give it all to you
Just for you to feel refreshed
Hold me until you found the next
Tall, frosty mug you really wanted dear
Finish it as I crack another beer.

There's that hope that one day when you look into the mirror
While sitting in your office, five minutes before you leave
When you go out of town and your head gets clearer
You'll realize that there's a hole in your pocket
Running around, freezing even in your jacket.
You'll notice the difference in how you draw a smile,
In front of them and when you're with me
When your glass is empty and laughs can't drown
All the sorrow that's weighing you down.
Suddenly, you'll find yourself wondering,
Whispering to yourself, "where are you now?"

I'm downing lemon sour
But your words have way more power.
Tonight, I didn't wear my glasses
Hence, I read your drunken face
Love - written all over it.
