James Blunt: Bartender Lyrics:
It’s a little after midnight there’s a couple in the corner and I wonder what he said because she’s crying
And I guess they won’t remember when they wake up in the morning with a headache from the whiskey and the wine
I know that I have said things I regret when I am sober ’cause we always hurt the ones we love the most
I messed up and I know it if I hurt girl I’m sorry but it’s good to see the girl I used to know
We can dance but I can’t dance
Maybe we can stick to holding hands
Or should we raise a glass
And forget the past?
If we keep up on drinking we gon fall back in love
So fill it up, fill it up
We must not be thinking ’cause we can’t enough
So fill it up, fill it up
Bartender can you pour some love?
Bartender can you pour some love?
We can talk about our future, we don’t wanna reminisce because we both know it was me who got it wrong
But f*ck is good to see you, you look awesome and I miss you baby, listen on they’re playing our song
We can dance, but I can’t dance
We can stick on holding hands
And let’s raise a glass and forget the past
If we keep up on drinking we gon fall back in love
So fill it up, fill it up
We must not be thinking ’cause we can’t get enough
So fill it up, fill it up
Bartender can you pour some love?
Bartender can you pour some love?
And it’s closing time Back to yours or mine?
After all this time You still blow my mind
And it’s closing time
Back to yours or mine?
After all this time, after all this time
If we keep up on drinking we gon fall back in love
So fill it up, fill it up
We must not be thinking ’cause we can’t get enough
So fill it up, fill it up
Bartender can you pour some love?
Bartender can you pour some love?
If we keep up on drinking we gon fall back in love
So fill it up, fill it up.
