[Verse] The candlelight’s faded down to ash, We’re wrapped up in the quiet at last. A slice of sugar waits in the dust, Frosting cracked from all the fuss. [Pre-Chorus] And I’m tracing the crumbs on the table, Thinking ‘bout how we were able— [Chorus] To save the cake for the morning after, Sticky fingers and a little laughter. Sweet taste lingers when the night is done, Holdin’ on to the warmth of the sun. Yeah, we saved the cake for the morning after. [Verse] Old barn wood creaks like an old guitar, The porch light’s dim but you’re right where you are. One last bite under waking skies, Your sleepy smile, my morning prize. [Pre-Chorus] And the dust settles slow around us, But in that crumb, I find my trust— [Chorus] To save the cake for the morning after, Sticky fingers and a little laughter. Sweet taste lingers when the night is done, Holdin’ on to the warmth of the sun. Yeah, we saved the cake for the morning after. [Bridge] We don’t need no fancy silver spoons, Just the light coming through the cracked old room. Every crumb’s a story we share, A little love left in the air. [Chorus] To save the cake for the morning after, Sticky fingers and a little laughter. Sweet taste lingers when the night is done, Holdin’ on to the warmth of the sun. Yeah, we saved the cake for the morning after. [Outro] Holdin’ on tight to the morning after.
