Top Shelf

Way up there's a bottle of single barrel bourbon still filled halfway And right there on the side of the label is a faded red lipstick stain Sitting there next to a polaroid picture in a dusty old frame Two young lovers holding onto each other in the pourin' down rain I keep em' on the top shelf, just a little out of reach Where I know I can't get to them and they can't get to me I think I oughta let em' go, cause I can't help myself So for just a little longer, till I'm a little stronger I keep em' on the top shelf Way down here I mill around knowing that I'll never get another one like that Cause the price is too high but I try to disguise what I think I'm worth inside Scared to grab a ladder and climb up and have her cause I'm afraid it's gonna buckle on me But the truth is though, that them both are out of my league I keep em' on the top shelf, just a little out of reach Where I know I can't get to them and they can't get to me I think I oughta let em' go, cause I can't help myself So for just a little longer, till I'm a little stronger Yeah I keep em' on the top shelf Woah, I keep em' on the top shelf It's the same place, the whiskey's been aged Same place I always see your face I hate to see it all go to waste It's the same place, the liquor lays and waits Same place, you're only a call away And I hate, I can't afford a taste I keep em' on the top shelf, just a little out just a little out of reach Where I know I can't get to them and they can't get to me I think I oughta let em' go, cause I can't help myself So for just a little longer till I'm a little stronger Yeah for just a little longer till I'm a little stronger I keep em' on the top shelf I keep em' on the top shelf Way up there's a bottle of single barrel bourbon still filled halfway And right there on the label is a faded red lipstick stain
