Leave the bourbon on the shelf
Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go
Got a new place, and how it's so much better
Falling over myself, the televisions' on,
I turn it off and smile
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Give me one more chance tonight
And I swear I'll make it right
But you ain't got time for this
And that wreckin' bell is ringin'
And I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you
Jennifer, tell me where I stand
And who's that boy holdin' your hand?
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair or those people that you lie with
But I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I can't be satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see
I'm not satisfied
From these lyrics I can make out that the main character has caught or suspected his girlfriend cheating on him. You can tell he gets angry because it starts with "shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go". Brandon ( the lead singer) sounds very depressed when he sings the last few lines of the song and its like the main character is in denial of what has happened, "im not satisfied". The main character I believe has also turned to alcohol to comfort himself. He trys to make himself feel better by insulting her hair and the people that she likes. Also the "shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go" could refer to him not having enough alcohol in his system and gets the "shakes".
