Campfire Confessions

[Verse 1] The fire’s burnin’ low, but the bottle’s still half full We’re sittin’ in a circle, boots kickin’ at the wool Cole’s got a Marlboro, Brett’s got a scar Jake’s hummin’ “Free Bird” on his half-tuned guitar Ain’t no girls, ain’t no phones Just worn flannels and broken bones We laugh about the fights, the dumb tattoos And all the things we’d never say if we weren’t five drinks through [Chorus] It’s campfire confessions, out in the pines Sayin’ too much and pretendin’ it’s fine Truth gets loose when the moon’s this bright Like, yeah, I’ve kissed a dude — but it was just one night No judgment, just smoke and pride Where secrets crackle on the fireside [Verse 2] Tanner said he misses his high school flame Brett said, “Honestly, I forgot her name” Cole said, “Sometimes I wear eyeliner still” And I said, “Y’all ever think ‘bout boys… for real?” Nobody flinched, nobody laughed Just passed the flask and leaned on back Jake stared up, eyes glazed and red Said, “Man, I thought I was the only one in my head” [Chorus] It’s campfire confessions, whiskey and wood Sayin’ all the things we never thought we could We ain’t soft, we ain’t ashamed We’re just grown-ass men with hearts untamed Yeah, I love my wife — that’s still true But sometimes I think about Cody too [Bridge] We’ve all done things we don’t regret Just never said ‘em out loud yet But out here, man, it’s safe to be A little more honest ’round the cedar tree [Final Chorus] It’s campfire confessions, no spotlight glare Just a bunch of rough hands sharin’ the air No punchlines left, just worn-down truth Like how I wore lipstick back in my youth So light another log and pour one more ’Cause this is what campfires were made for [Outro] And when the sun comes up, we won’t say a word We’ll nod and grunt like nothin’ occurred But deep down, we’ll all still know… There’s love in the embers that we never show
