Bitters & Absolut Lyrics
sweetie, you don't look so good
your bottom lip is bleeding.
i cut it on your collarbone
go on, go back to sleep.
sugar, who were you thinking of?
you woke me with your breathing.
honey, how am i supposed to tell?
if i were a spy in the world inside your head
would i be your wife in a better life you led?
thought i saw you on the stairs
of this american century.
i went up through all the years
you were years ahead of me.
remember when you dipped your hand?
i never saw it coming.
you took the wind out of me.
if i were a spy in the world inside your head
would i be your wife in the better life you led?
i'd do you better than you do
i'd do you better than you ever will
when i am on bitters and absolut.
if i were a spy in the world inside your head
would i be your wife in a better life you led?
i'd do you better than you do
i'd do you better than you ever will.
when i am on bitters and absolut.
your bottom lip is bleeding.
i cut it on your collarbone
go on, go back to sleep.
you woke me with your breathing.
honey, how am i supposed to tell?
would i be your wife in a better life you led?
of this american century.
i went up through all the years
you were years ahead of me.
remember when you dipped your hand?
i never saw it coming.
you took the wind out of me.
would i be your wife in the better life you led?
i'd do you better than you ever will
when i am on bitters and absolut.
would i be your wife in a better life you led?
i'd do you better than you ever will.

The thoughts of a woman staring at her husband in the middle of the night. She knows he cheats on her. He's dipped his hands in other waters. It's only a matter of time before he leaves her, off to seek something better as men age better than women in the middle years. She knows that if she were in the position of power in the relationship, she'd never do this to him.
The piano at the end is really nice
