[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 take that next step 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 Scars truth can leave [Verse 2] I've heard it living in your laughter I’ve seen it light up 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 has 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 So much deeper within [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] 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 So much deeper within [Outro] Midnight spills ... Let it all be real ... Another night ... Saying what we feel ... Deep within [End cold on G]
