4th Place 
“Tastes Like A Heartache” 
by Andrea Stray 
San Francisco, CA 

I finally ran into you 
It was how I thought it would be 
I was a little thrown, and it was so bittersweet 
Sure enough the past slowly crept in 
I was happy to see you, but I remember when 

The air was thick with blue night scars 
Drunken dreams and perfect guitars 
To go back now would be a bittersweet mistake 
Cause the bottom line is, it tastes like a heartache 

So I grabbed my drink to wash it down 
So much to say, but too many people around 
I almost fell again for you 
Between the smoke and these aching blues 

The air was thick with blue night scars 
Drunken dreams and perfect guitars 
To go back now would be a bittersweet mistake 
Cause the bottom line is, it tastes like a heartache 
The bottom line is, it tastes like a heartache 

And there’s a place that nobody knows 
Where the melodies last like faith and a rose 

When the air gets thick with blue night scars 
Drunken dreams and perfect guitars 
I remember that’s what caused us to break 
The bottom line is, it tastes like a heartache 
Yeah, The bottom line is, it tastes like a heartache
