Say It Sober

You know how to lean in after midnight You know how to whisper in the dark It's like you open up when the neon closes Your words come sweet like bourbon roses And they all seem to wrap around my heart Then you say the thing that makes me say come over

But you can't say it sober So does that whiskey tell the truth Or is there something in that moon That's lighting up the me and you

That ain't quite over So, baby, lay down in my bed And love me 'til my loving you forgets That you can't say it sober

I ain't scared of your confessions I tend to see the best of you Are you afraid I won't understand Or the boy inside might lose the man You're afraid your daddy's daddy won't approve Though what your heart might need right now's a shoulder

But you can't say it sober So does that whiskey tell the truth Or is there something in that moon That's lighting up the me and you

That ain't quite over So, baby, lay down in my bed And love me 'til my loving you forgets

That you can't say the way you need me When the needin feels like home You can't wrap your arms around the way without me feels alone Yeah, that ninety proof brings truth a little closer But you can't say it sober

You can't say it sober So, baby, lay down in my bed And love me 'til my loving you regrets That I remember every single word that you forget 'Cause you can't say it sober
