  • Well
    I met Sally at a late night dive bar
    She don't dance, but she downs her drinks
    Heard through a friend, she's a born again wild card
    She was telling me wild things
    Well, she was telling me wild things

    Lives down the street past the 7-Eleven
    Just close enough that I spent the night
    She grabbed my hand at the intersection
    I spilled my guts at the red light

    Sally
    That feeling's coming around
    Please don't go falling in love
    Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)
    Sally
    I'll buy a couple of rounds
    Don't let me think I'm enough
    Then disappear when the wine runs out

    (Yoo-hoo)
    (Yeah)
    (Ah, nah, no-no)
    (Sally)

    Well
    I open up while she's flipping through pages
    Getting lonely as the days get dark
    If you're bored, and your mind starts changing
    Maybe just give me a head start

    And I, I see the glass in your eyes
    Just trying to keep it alive
    For crying out loud (oh)

    Sally
    That feeling's coming around
    Please don't go falling in love
    Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)
    Sally
    I'll buy a couple of rounds
    Don't let me think I'm enough
    Then disappear when the wine runs out

    Aw, shit, here we go again
    I'm falling headfirst (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Ankles hit the two-step
    Sally makes my head hurt (hey)
    Heard through the grapevine
    She can be a diva
    Cold like Minnesota
    Hotter than a fever (hey)

    Aw, shit, here we go again
    I'm falling headfirst
    Ankles hit the two-step
    Sally makes my head hurt (hey)
    Heard through the grapevine
    She can be a diva
    Cold like Minnesota
    Hotter than a fever (hey)

    Sally (hey)
    That feeling's coming around (ah, ah)
    Please don't go falling in love (yeah)
    Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)
    Sally
    I'll buy a couple of rounds (I'll buy a couple)
    Don't let me think I'm enough
    Then disappear when the wine runs out Writer/s: Annika Bennett, Harrison Whitford, Noah Conrad, Tucker Pillsbury
