After Midnight Promises

(Verse 1) Tail lights bleedin' into the black Gravel road hummin' beneath the Cadillac Radio whispers a forgotten tune Out here in the dark, bathed in the moon Got nowhere to be, nowhere to run Just the echo of your laughter, spun Into the fabric of this stolen night Holding on tight, burning ever so bright (Chorus) In the hush before the dawn breaks us apart You trace promises across my heart No witnesses, just breath and sin After midnight, we begin again With tangled limbs and whispered words Like secrets shared by restless birds This back road haven, our sacred space After midnight, we find our grace (Verse 2) The scent of honeysuckle hangs heavy and sweet Mixing with the dust beneath our feet This old dirt road, a familiar friend Leading us to where our journeys bend And intertwine like branches in the breeze Finding solace in the rustling leaves The world outside can fade away In this hidden moment, we choose to stay (Bridge) Maybe it’s wrong, this clandestine affair Stealing moments, breathing borrowed air But the fire in your eyes, the touch of your hand Makes this forbidden feeling, grand I know we’ll part when morning light appears But these stolen hours will chase away my fears (Chorus) In the hush before the dawn breaks us apart You trace promises across my heart No witnesses, just breath and sin After midnight, we begin again With tangled limbs and whispered words Like secrets shared by restless birds This back road haven, our sacred space After midnight, we find our grace (Outro) After midnight, we find our grace Yeah, after midnight, we find our place Just you and me, until the break of day After midnight, we begin again, come what may.
