[Intro - Tape-saturated whisper] (Three in the morning… the café's still open… just for us…) [Verse 1] Neon hums a lullaby outside Wet reflections where the taxis slide But in here the light is amber-warm A little shelter from the storm You stir the honey, watch it spin Golden spiral pulling me in Your voice a blanket, low and near The only sound I want to hear [Pre-Chorus] We're the last ones left tonight And everything feels almost right Almost right [Chorus] Pour me something slow and sweet Milk and honey, incomplete Like a sentence with no end Like a corner with no bend Hold me in this in-between Softest place I've ever been 3 AM, and I'm alive Barely waking, half-alive [Verse 2] Your laughter fogs the windowpane Drawing circles, drawing my name The playlist shuffled to a song That feels like where we both belong Crumbs of cake on a chipped white plate It's way too early, way too late Your pinky finger touches mine An accident across the line [Pre-Chorus] We're the last ones left in here And everything is almost clear Almost clear [Chorus] Pour me something slow and sweet Milk and honey, incomplete Like a sentence with no end Like a corner with no bend Hold me in this in-between Softest place I've ever been 3 AM, and I'm alive Barely waking, half-alive [Bridge - Stripped back, bowed vibraphone + whisper] The world is sleeping but we found A frequency, a secret sound Between the silence and the steam Between awake and in a dream Stay in the dream… [Final Chorus - Full arrangement, stacked harmonies] Pour me something slow and sweet Milk and honey, now complete Like a sentence finally penned Like a road around the bend Hold me past the in-between Realest place I've ever been 3 AM, and I'm alive Fully waking, fully alive [Outro - Fading, whispered] Milk and honey… milk and honey… (The café's still open… just for us…) Mmm…
