Jens Lekman - Sipping on the Sweet Nectar lyrics

Well how can I forget?

My hand still shivers

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
