"Say It Sober" lyrics

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 till 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 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 till 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 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 till my loving you forgets
That you can't say it sober
You can't say it sober
