Confession After Dark

[Verse 1] Two-thirty and the streetlight hums your side of the mattress still holds a dent I said I was fine when you asked me twice now the phone's the only thing that answers back [Pre-Chorus] There's a version of me that only breathes when the whole world's too tired to keep score [Chorus] So I tell it to the ceiling, low and slow things I'd swallow when the sun was in the room that I still trace your name on the fogged-up glass midnight's got a way of pulling out the truth [Verse 2] Daylight's got a suit that fits too tight I button up my mouth and call it strength but the dark don't need me holding it in it just sits beside me, quiet, no defense [Pre-Chorus] There's a version of me that only speaks when nobody's awake to write it down [Chorus] So I tell it to the ceiling, low and slow things I'd swallow when the sun was in the room that I never stopped, I just learned to hide midnight's got a way of pulling out the truth [Bridge] And if I could say it in the light I'd say it slower, say your name say I'm scared of how much room you take say I'd take you back, oh, all the same (oh) but morning comes and folds it up (mm) tucks the honesty away [Outro] So I tell it to the ceiling, low and slow (low and slow) one more secret the sunrise never knew
