​bartender Lyrics by Emily James

​moments that mattered

2020

[Verse 1]
Hey there, bartender
I know that you remember
I'm the girl who stared all night then ran away
Gave you my number
Then you poured me another
That night, every drop of courage helped me stay
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm the kind of girl
Who takes this kind of thing slow
But nothing that we had
Was any kind of typical
[Chorus]
Daylight, I'm someone else
When I'm by my midnight self
Shadows all looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking it's you
It's getting hard to tell
If I'm doing better by myself
Strangers keep looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking of you
I keep on, keeping on you
[Verse 2]
Hey there bartender
Been talking to my sister
And she says if I don't try I'll never know, mmm
But my friends all worry
And say that you could hurt me
And I'm trying to make my mind up on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm the kind of girl
Who takes this kind of thing slow
I know I said goodbye
But I can't seem to let go
[Chorus]
Daylight, I'm someone else
When I'm by my midnight self
Shadows all looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking it's you
It's getting hard to tell
If I'm doing better by myself
Strangers keep looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking of you
[Bridge]
And I miss the way you'd talk of climbing mountains
How you'd always dream
'Cause when we'd talk about the future
It was always you and me
You and me
[Chorus]
Daylight, I'm someone else
When I'm by my midnight self
Shadows all looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking it's you
It's getting hard to tell
If I'm doing better by myself
Strangers keep looking like you
Keep, keep on thinking of you
I keep on thinking of you
Keep, keep on keeping on you
