From the recording IV: Finding My Way Back Home
“Confession” is Ryland Fisher at his most vulnerable—an intimate country-rock slow-burn that dives headfirst into raw desire. With haunting electric guitars, dreamy instrumentation, and vocals that ache with honesty, this sultry track captures the intensity of a love too powerful to hide. Whether it’s a fleeting moment or forever, Fisher’s emotional delivery and lyrical candor make “Confession” a moody standout on IV: Finding My Way Back Home.
Lyrics
You ain't saying a word
Every sip we take
Those lines getting blurred
It’s getting late
But girl, I ain't going nowhere
My heart is beating out of my chest
I can feel your breath on my neck
Your lips, your eyes, your dress...
You ain't playing fair
Come a little closer to me
Let your body do the talking
Answer this prayer on the tip of my tongue
I’ll tell you what I'm feeling
Paint it black and white
I’ll wear it on my sleeve and
Give it all to you tonight
I could stay right here forever
You're my weakness, I surrender
You're my obsession, steal all my attention
Just between me, you, and heaven
Here’s my confession
Stripped down, bearing my soul
Till all my deepest secrets are told
I ain't no saint
Won't you take me as I am
Come a little closer to me
Let your body do the talking
Answer this prayer on the tip of my tongue
I’ll tell you what I'm feeling
Paint it black and white
I’ll wear it on my sleeve and
Give it all to you tonight
I could stay right here forever
You're my weakness, I surrender
You're my obsession, steal all my attention
Just between me, you, and heaven
Here’s my confession
Confession
There ain't no going back
Now that I've seen your light
So baby, look in these eyes
We ain't got nothing to hide
I’ll tell you what I'm feeling
Paint it black and white
I’ll wear it on my sleeve and
Give it all to you tonight
I could stay right here forever
You're my weakness, I surrender
You're my obsession, steal all my attention
Just between me, you, and heaven
Here’s my confession
Confession
Confession
