Jens Lekman Sipping On The Sweet Water
You remember your first kiss?
Well, how can I forget?
My hand still shiver from the very thought of it
Well, sometimes I almost regret it
Like I regret my regrets
I see myself on my deathbed saying
"I wish I would have 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 spring time in the breeze?
You gotta start 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 start sipping on the sweet nectar
That's when the feeling hits
