[Intro 8 bars] [Verse 1] We’re sitting on the back porch Where fireflies write in the air You spill midnight thoughts like bourbon And pretend that I’m not aware But I can feel your voice get warmer Every time you let the silence fall And I’m right here, ready to meet you If you finally want to risk it all [Chorus 1] And It’s in these midnight spills When your guard falls off your sleeve You speak words sideways and trembling That you never could believe While I sit here steady but shaking Knowing what scars the truth can leave [Verse 2] I’ve heard it living in your laughter I’ve seen it hiding in your eyes Every time you leaned in closer Like the truth was wearing a disguise And I kept pretending I was careless Though the wanting you never ceased We’ve been one confession from lightning For a long time, storm clouds gathered here [Pre-Chorus] I’m done pretending I don’t feel this I’m staying right here — I won’t retreat [Chorus 2] And It’s in these midnight spills When your guard falls off again Your words lean closer to the real thing But you try to pull them back in And I sit here steady but shaking ’cause we both know this is deeper than sin [Bridge] What if we just… stop hiding? What if we let this truth be real? No promises — no forever — Just one night where we say what we feel [Chorus 3] And It’s in these midnight spills When your guard drops off again Your words lean closer to the real thing But you try to pull them back in As I sit here steady but shaking ’cause we both know this is deeper than sin [End cold on G]
