Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
It can't be said I'm an early bird
It's 10 o'clock before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well?
You keep tellin' me to live right
To go to bed before the daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you don't gotta pretend
Baby, now and then

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you just wanna wake up
Dark as a lake
Smellin' like a bonfire
Lost in a haze?
If you're drunk on life, babe
I think it's great
But while in this world

[Chorus]
I think I'll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

[Verse 2]
I aim low
I aim true, and the ground's where I go
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever, babe?
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
The rest of you like you're the TSA
I wish that I could go along
Babe, don't get me wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
You know you're bright as the morning
As soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine
As sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel
Maybe I'll wait
Until that day

[Chorus]
I'd rather take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

[Outro]
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me

Here's my breakdown of the key themes and possible meanings:

*Lifestyle and Habits*

- *I take my whiskey neat / My coffee black and my bed at three* symbolizes his preference for things that are straightforward, unfiltered, and perhaps unconventional. These choices reflect a desire for experiences that are authentic and potent, mirroring his approach to life. reflecting a broader inclination towards facing life’s complexities head-on.
- This contrasts with the other person’s lifestyle, which he perceives as too “sweet” basically living in a fairytale avoiding life’s hard and uncomfortable truths or perhaps lacking the depth and authenticity he craves.

*Emotional Maturity and Incompatibility*

- The repeated line, *You’re too sweet for me* suggests that the person in question has a disposition or outlook on life that is too childlike, naive, sugar-coated, or simply too different from his. This sweetness is juxtaposed with his preference for the "neat" and "black" aspects of life, implying an ability to handle life’s bitterness which he finds more authentic or relatable.
- The lyrics also touch on the idea of living fully but differently. The other person is described with a positive almost pure imagery ( *bright as the morning / As soft as the rain* ), yet he feels he cannot fully align with this perspective. This refrain suggests not just a difference in taste but a deeper emotional and philosophical incompatibility. The “sweetness/purity” here could imply a naivety or gullibility in the other person’s approach to life, which doesn’t resonate with his more seasoned or perhaps cynical perspective. The song suggests a maturity in embracing life’s bitter days, indicating a resilience and depth of character that he values and identifies himself with.

*Acceptance of Differences*

- Despite these differences, there's an undercurrent of respect and perhaps affection for the other person's way of being. He seems to understand and appreciate the qualities of the other person maybe they aren't this childlike naive person maybe they're just high on life *If you’re drunk on life, babe / I think it’s great* but acknowledges a fundamental mismatch in their approaches to life and relationships.

*Reflection on Life and Death*

- *But who wants to live forever babe* suggests a contemplation of mortality and the ways people choose to experience life. He opts for a more immediate, perhaps hedonistic approach, while still recognizing the validity of the other person's more sheltered or cautious way of living.

I wouldn't say his singing a love song or a rejection song, it's a mature acceptance of their incompatibility and differences

March 23, 2024. Today im dropping this comment to let you know that im gonna be a big shot artist soon. My songs will be bangers shortly.
