Peanut Butter Whisky

Peanut Butter Whisky Verse 1 We were gasoline and porch-light truth Cold breath hanging in the blue January kisses in the snow Didn’t care where we’d go You say my name like it’s a spark Like you’re scared of striking dark You hold me close but hold back too Like wanting me might cost you Pre-Chorus You look at me like you’re on fire But talk like you’re made of stone I’m standing here with both hands open You’re scared of what you want ⸻ Chorus We’re peanut butter whisky Sweet and burning going down Sticky on your conscience But you keep me around You won’t say you need me But your hands don’t lie We’re smooth and reckless honesty With a goodbye in your eyes Yeah, we taste like forever But you sip me like a risk We’re late-night almost love Peanut butter whisky ⸻ Verse 2 Two engines running restless Headlights cutting through Highways with no questions Just me and you I lean into your shoulder You don’t say much at all But I can feel the thunder Rattling in your walls Pre-Chorus You don’t say “I want you” And I don’t make you beg But silence gets real heavy When it’s hanging by a thread ⸻ Chorus We’re peanut butter whisky Sweet with a little sting You say you’re bad at feelings But you feel everything You won’t claim the daylight But you hold me through the night We’re smooth and complicated Wrong that feels so right Yeah, we taste like something real But you treat me like a risk We’re almost but not quite love Peanut butter whisky ⸻ Bridge (raw, stripped down) I used to say I could burst You’d laugh and pull me in Now I’m holding all this fire Wondering where you’ve been If it can go bad It can go ten thousand times better too But I’m done writing stories You won’t live up to Say it or let it breathe Don’t halfway hold my hand I won’t shrink just to fit inside A maybe kind of plan ⸻ Final Chorus (big, emotional lift) We’re peanut butter whisky Sweet and burning in my chest You love the way I taste But you’re scared to want the rest You don’t say you choose me And I won’t lie to myself I’m not someone you hide away Up on some secret shelf Yeah, we taste like forever But forever don’t exist If you can’t say you want me You don’t get to sip No more almost, maybe, someday No more “it just is” You either drink me straight Or leave the peanut butter whisky ⸻ Outro (soft, echoing) January snow still falling Engines quiet in the dark We were fire in the cold And I felt it from the start Peanut butter whisky.
