Bartender Knows Too Much

[Verse 1] You wipe down the bar Say, "Same as last week?" Yeah, pour me that past Make it extra deep There’s a ring in your tip jar From the one that got away You just nod at my finger Like, "So, how’s your day?" [Chorus] ’Cause the bartender knows too much Got my secrets in their cups Every heartbreak on a tab Every bad idea I had Here at The Pond, where the ducks line up You serve advice with a plastic duck Unofficial therapist of this place and such Yeah, my bartender My bartender knows too much (hey) [Verse 2] You slide me a drink With a rubber duck grin Say, "You always choose chaos Then come staggering in" There’s a board on the wall Polaroids and regrets You tap mine and say softly "Still your favorite yet?" [Chorus] ’Cause the bartender knows too much Got my secrets in their cups Every promise that I broke Every truth I turned to jokes Here at The Pond, where the ducks show up You float my fears in a yellow cup Unofficial therapist with a gentle touch Yeah, my bartender My bartender knows too much (oh yeah) [Bridge] You’ve seen me fall in love Seen me fall off stools Heard me talk like a poet Then cry like a fool And you just stack those stories Like bottles on a shelf "Tip your duck," you whisper "Then go fix yourself" [Chorus] ’Cause the bartender knows too much Got my secrets in their cups All the versions I’ve outgrown You remember every one Here at The Pond, where the ducks don’t judge You keep my chaos in a careful hush Laugh and say, "I’m just topping up" But my bartender Yeah, my bartender knows too much
