Tequila Lyrics – Dan + Shay
Tequila Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
I can still shut down a party
I can hang with anybody
I can drink whiskey and red wine
Champagne all night
Little Scotch on the rocks and I'm fine
I'm fine
[Chorus: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
But when I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
Cutting up the floor in a sorority T-shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado
Your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible
Baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
[Verse 2: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
I can kiss somebody brand new
And not even think about you
I can show up to the same bar
Hear the same songs in my car
Baby, your memory
It only hits me this hard
[Chorus: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
When I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
Cutting up the floor in a sorority T-shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado
Your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible
Baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya (Need ya)
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
[Bridge: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
I ain't even drunk
I ain't even drunk and I'm thinking
How I need your love
How I need your love
Yeah, it sinks in
[Chorus: Dan Smyers & Shay Mooney]
When I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
Sorority T-shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado
Your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible
Baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya (Need ya)
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila, oh
(When I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila, oh
(When I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila
(When I, when I, when I)
Oh
Tequila Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Tequila" by Dan + Shay reflects on the lingering memories of a past love, triggered by the taste of tequila. It explores the singer's ability to enjoy life and new experiences, yet the specific flavor of tequila brings back vivid recollections of a shared moment with a special someone. The lyrics convey a mix of nostalgia, heartache, and the enduring impact of a significant relationship.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the singers boast about their ability to have a good time at parties, drink various spirits, and remain unfazed. Despite this, the mention of specific drinks like whiskey and red wine sets the stage for the impactful role tequila will play in the narrative. The repetition of "I'm fine" suggests a surface-level confidence that may not hold when faced with certain memories.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the emotional connection between the taste of tequila and memories of a past lover. The imagery of the partner dancing in a sorority T-shirt and the reference to shared experiences in Colorado evoke a vivid picture of a significant moment in the relationship. The repetition of "When I taste tequila" underscores the recurring impact of this particular drink on the singer's emotions.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singers claim they can engage with new romantic interests without dwelling on the past. However, the admission that memories hit hard when hearing familiar songs or being in familiar places reveals the lasting impact of the previous relationship. The phrase "It only hits me this hard" suggests that, despite attempts to move on, the memories remain emotionally potent.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a moment of sober reflection. Despite not being intoxicated, the singer acknowledges a deep longing for the lost love. The phrase "How I need your love" encapsulates the emotional void that persists, even in moments of sobriety.
[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the earlier sentiments, emphasizing the persistence of the emotional response triggered by tequila. The mention of a sorority T-shirt and the memories from Colorado serves as a poignant reminder of the specific details that make this relationship memorable. The commitment expressed in "Baby, I'd never leave ya" contrasts with the acknowledgment of how much the partner is missed.
