Creek at midnight

Verse 1

You were reading at the table by the creek bed

Sweater wrapped around your knees, a cup of lukewarm tea in it

Dusk was turning to dark on the waterline

You said you weren't tired, just waiting for me

I brought out the blankets and we curled up side by side

The crickets started calling as the stars began to climb

We talked about nothing at all and everything true

And I thought this is where home would always be, with you

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the creek start to hum down below?

Is it us or is it just the current letting go?

Chorus

Oh, midnight creek, you're running through my veins tonight

A little warmer for every second I hold on tight

Every drop of water that runs off into the dark

Leaves me with a little more of this feeling in the spark

You take a breath and let it go into your chest

I do the same right after you and then we rest

In this one moment, nothing else can catch up to us

We're the only two who know about this current hush

Verse 2

Now your book is shut against the moonlight glow

Your feet are bare in the water where the creek starts to flow

I've got my arm around you and the whole world's gone still

It's just us here on the riverbank, watching everything fall

The crickets have stopped their calling, only water left to say

This is how we'll live forever: right here, right now, in this way

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it start to rise from down below?

Is it just our hearts or something only water knows?

Chorus

Oh, midnight creek, you're running through my veins tonight

A little warmer for every second I hold on tight

Every drop of water that runs off into the dark

Leaves me with a little more of this feeling in the spark

You take a breath and let it go into your chest

I do the same right after you and then we rest

In this one moment, nothing else can catch up to us

We're the only two who know about this current hush

Bridge

No reason left for either of us to go back home tonight

Just water, just quiet, just this feeling in the light

Keep holding still long enough and it turns into gold

Right here on your shoulder is where I want to be whole

Chorus

Oh, midnight creek, you're running through my veins tonight

A little warmer for every second I hold on tight

Every drop of water that runs off into the dark

Leaves me with a little more of this feeling in the spark

You take a breath and let it go into your chest

I do the same right after you and then we rest

In this one moment, nothing else can catch up to us

We're the only two who know about this current hush
