Midnight Syrup

(Intro – tape hiss, distant)

Shh… come here…

(Verse 1)

Streetlamp leaks honey through the half-open blind

Your knee on my thigh, slow like poured red wine

I taste the quiet on the tip of your tongue

Room smells like sleep and the smoke from your lungs

(Pre-Chorus – whisper-close)

Fingers crawl lazy, no map, no plan

Every inch of you a place I understand

Heartbeat drips thick like the clock on the wall

Let it melt, baby—let it fall

(Hook – sticky, seductive)

Midnight syrup, drip down slow

Sweet on my lips, nowhere to go

Ooh, pour it on me, let it stain

Ooh, lick it off—feel no pain

(Chorus)

Midnight syrup, we’re drowning in the glow

Your hips on mine, moving liquid, moving slow

No light, no sound, just the sugar we spill

Bodies dissolve where the shadows sit still

Midnight syrup, I’m drunk on your taste

One drop of you and the night’s erased

Hold me under, let the hours congeal

This sweetness is the only thing real

(Verse 2)

Your laugh is a low hum against my collarbone

I answer in shivers, a language we own

Sheets stick to skin like caramel on teeth

Every breath pulls us deeper beneath

(Pre-Chorus – softer, trembling)

Pulse in my wrist syncs to the bass in your chest

Time turns to taffy—we’re perfectly messed

No need to speak, just the slide and the sway

Stay sticky with me till the break of day

(Hook – layered, molten)

Midnight syrup, thick in my veins

Every kiss leaves a permanent stain

Ooh, drown me deeper, make me beg

Ooh, hold me down—break my legs

(Chorus)

Midnight syrup, we’re drowning in the glow

Your nails in my back, carving rivers that flow

No dawn, no cure, just the glaze on our skin

Sinning in slow-mo, let the rapture begin

Midnight syrup, I’m lost in your flood

One taste and I’m hooked on the taste of your blood

Hold me sticky, let the world disappear

We’re the only proof that the night was here

(Bridge – voice + warped keys, almost asleep)

If morning comes… don’t let it dry…

Keep me wet… keep me high…

(Final Chorus – lush, collapsing)

Midnight syrup, we’re puddles on the floor

Your mouth on my secrets, begging for more

No end, no name, just the residue sweet

Two ghosts in the glaze where the dark and heat meet

Midnight syrup, I’m crystallized in you

One final lick and the night is through

Hold me forever in this amber haze

We’re the last drop in the jar of days

(Outro – tape slows, sticky fade)

Midnight… syrup…

…still dripping.
