"Sipping On The Sweet Nectar" lyrics

"Sipping On The Sweet Nectar"

You remember your first kiss?
Well how can I forget?
My hands still shiver
From the very thought of it

But sometimes I almost regret it
Like I regret my regrets
I see myself on my deathbed saying
"I wish I would've loved less."

But that's when the feeling hits
So just lick your lips
These are the good times that you'll miss
When you are sipping on the sweet nectar of your memories

Just take a sip
And let it wet your lips
You won't understand all this
Until you're sipping on the sweet nectar of your memories

Last night I ran into my old life
Still waiting for someone at the station
Someone who never made it into my new life

So I called up Lisa
'Cause she's my only friend
"Lisa, I don't know anymore
Every heartbeat needs a reason."

She said
"That's when the feeling hits
So just lick your lips
Can you smell the springtime in the breeze?
You gotta stop sipping on the sweet nectar of your memories."

I take a sip
I let it wet my lips
I think back on that kiss
I gotta stop sipping on the sweet nectar

That's when the feeling hits
