Morgan Wallen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Jack D, there's a seven on the label
One glass on the living room table
Phone face down, Church up loud
Was tryna drown you out tonight
But, first sip, I can feel you on my shoulder
The Tennessee heat, have me feeling colder
Thought a drink would get you off my mind
But this bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
This bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
You might think I don't really want you with me
You might tell me to empty out my whiskey
Or try changin' what I'm holdin' in my hand
Try another liquor, try another brand
But it don't matter if I got my lips on a different drink
On a different night
Yeah, the second that I take a sip all I'm gonna think is
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
This bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
Thought a drink would get you off my mind
I ain't saying I love you but I might
'Cause this bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
And this bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
This bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021)
This bottle tastes like 865 (409-1021, yeah)
Overall Meaning
The lyrics of Morgan Wallen's song "865" tell the story of a man who is trying to forget his past lover with the help of alcohol. He is sitting in his living room with a glass of whiskey on the table while playing his music as loud as possible to get her out of his mind. However, he finds himself reminiscing about her as he sips the whiskey, and it only reminds him of her more. He admits to himself that the alcohol tastes like her phone number, and he can't help but want to call her.
The chorus of the song repeats the phone number, 865-409-1021, emphasizing how much the taste of the alcohol reminds him of her. He begs her to come over one last time and gives into his temptation, despite promising himself that he wouldn't call her again.
The lyrics of "865" convey the struggle of trying to move on from someone you still have feelings for. The man knows that he shouldn't call her, but he can't help but be reminded of her every time he takes a sip of his drink.
