Candy Corn Confession

The porch lights blink in amber

The paper bat sang, hi

I slipped you extra candy when nobody's nearby

Your costume's little sparkle catches under silver streetlights

And my heart does a backflip in the middle of the night

We laugh like we're 12 again, but I know what I feel

A secret in my pocket, something soft and real

Take my hand

Through the mask and the glitter

Under the gunk and glow

Everything feels sweeter

We're a little bit shy, a little bit rage

Showering candy and a look that could ruin my name

And if the music tears slow

And the stars ring closer

Maybe tonight is the night the sweet gets bolder

And a custom party kiss

With my heartbeat out

I found a tiny forever

In the middle of the crowd

There's frosting on your sleeve

And chocolate on my grin

The room is all a blur

But I can still see

You say it's just for fun

But your smile says maybe

Like every haunted hallway

Like me right here, baby

We spin past the balloons

Past the orange and black lights

My courage wears a grin

And it fits me just right

Take my hand through the mask and the glitter

Under the pumpkin glow

Everything feels sweeter

We're a little bit shy, a little bit brave

Sharing candy and a look back

Could ruin my name

And if the music turns slow

And the stars cling closer

Maybe tonight is the night

The sweet gets bolder

And a custom party camps

With my heartbeat love

I found a tiny forever

In the middle of the crowd

Maybe by morning we'll laugh at the ache

The kind of sleep memory that time can't take

But right now the moon says, don't look away

So I'll let the moment keep me safe

Take my hand through the mask and the glitter

Under the pumpkin glow, everything

Feels sweeter

Well, if they'd shy, a little bit brave

Sharing candy and a love that could ruin my name

And if the music turns slow and the stars lean closer

Maybe tonight is the night the sweet gets bolder

Helicost in my kiss with my heartbeat love

I found the tiny forever

In the middle of the crowd
