Say It Like You Mean It

Verse

Gold light spilling through the diner blinds

Your thumb tracing circles on the back of my hand

Radio hums an old bittersweet line

And I'm not ready yet to let this moment land

Pre-Chorus

So don't just whisper it

Don't let it drift and quit

If this is really something

Then show me you're all in

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Not like a song you're halfway singing

Say it like you mean it

Loud enough the whole block's ringing

I don't need forever

Just tonight said true and clean

So say it, say it, say it

Like you mean it

Verse

Three a.m. texts fading into gray

Your voice on the phone catching soft and slow

I keep the ticket stub from our first day

Proof that this was real, not just a show

Pre-Chorus

So don't just whisper it

Don't let it drift and quit

If this is really something

Then show me you're all in

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Not like a song you're halfway singing

Say it like you mean it

Loud enough the whole block's ringing

I don't need forever

Just tonight said true and clean

So say it, say it, say it

Like you mean it

Bridge

Maybe I've been scared to hold too tight

Maybe words like these don't come out right

But I'm done waiting on the maybes now

I want the truth, not the how

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Not like a song you're halfway singing

Say it like you mean it

Loud enough the whole block's ringing

I don't need forever

Just tonight said true and clean

So say it, say it, say it

Like you mean it

Say it like you mean it
