Nobu 'Til Sunrise

[ Lyrics ]

Black cod, white lies, all night.
 — soft shaker swell into groove)

Sushi on ice, your thumb on my knee,
lips taste like miso and secrets too deep.
Private room, no names, no trace,
just candlelight tracing the curve of your face.
You say, 'Nobody knows we’re here,'
then pull me closer, whisper in my ear—
a phrase in Japanese I don’t know,
but the way you say it makes my body glow.

Champagne goes flat, but the buzz won’t fade,
I’m caught in the current, no map, no brake.
One more hour, one more lie—
you kiss my neck like it’s your right.

Black cod, white lies, all night,
drowning in the warmth you bring.
You touch me like I'm yours, and I don’t fight,
let the moment twist the truth I hide.
Ocean hums beneath the floor,
we burn slow behind a locked door.
Black cod, white lies, all night—
I forget the world, I forget the war.

Sun’s a bruise on the edge of the cliff,
we slip through the service door, no handshake, no tip.
Backseat kiss with the seats laid back,
city lights painting guilt in gold and black.
You check your phone—'Wife’s in Nantucket,'
laugh it off like it’s just a hiccup.
I lie in your suite, face to the glass,
watch the waves like they’ll tell me 'at last.'

Silk on my skin, not a thread of my own,
names I’ve answered to since I’ve known.
One more night, one more line—
you call me 'baby,' I pretend it’s mine.

Black cod, white lies, all night,
drowning in the warmth you bring.
You touch me like I'm yours, and I don’t fight,
let the moment twist the truth I hide.
Ocean hums beneath the floor,
we burn slow behind a locked door.
Black cod, white lies, all night—
I forget the world, I forget the war.

I don’t ask where you go when the morning comes.
I don’t ask why your ring stays at home.
I just close my eyes, let the tide pull in—
promise myself this is where I begin.
But the silence speaks in footnotes and tones,
and your love feels like a room with no phone.

Black cod, white lies, all night,
drowning in the warmth you bring.
You touch me like I'm yours, and I don’t fight,
let the moment twist the truth I hide.
Ocean hums beneath the floor,
we burn slow behind a locked door.
Black cod, white lies, all night—
I forget the world, I forget the war.

All night…
