[Verse 1 male] Candlelight leaning on your shoulders Silk and shadow on your skin My fingertips slow like honey Tracing where your thoughts begin Ain’t no rush in this room tonight We let the record play Every breath you give to me Says more than words could say (Say it slow…) (Stay right here…) [Pre-Chorus] Baby, we don’t need no clock Let the minutes melt away When your body’s next to mine Time don’t behave (Melt away… melt away…) [Chorus – layered warm harmonies] Come closer, baby Slide into my arms Let the night wrap around us Soft and warm No fast moves, no pressure Just rhythm and breath We’ll let this feeling linger Till there’s nothing left (Closer… closer…) (Stay… stay…) [Verse 2 male] Your skin glowing bronze in the low light Heartbeat steady with mine Slow sway like a bassline Locked in perfect time You smile like you already know What you do to me A quiet kind of magic Deep as the sea (Don’t you fight it…) (Just breathe…) [Bridge – raw / emotionally exposed] I don’t just want your body near I want the parts you hide The nights you felt too much to speak The tears you swallowed inside Lay your armor on the floor You don’t have to be strong If loving me feels risky Baby… I’ve been scared that long I’m not here for a moment I’m here for the weight Of every fragile memory You’ve been afraid to say (I see you…) (All of you…) (Stay… don’t run…) [Verse 3 – confessional male] Let me tell you ‘bout the nights I stayed awake Counting mistakes, wishing I could change The walls I built around my heart so high Afraid if I let anyone in, I’d die But with you… I feel the cracks give way I can breathe, I can almost say All the shame I carried like a stone With you… I’m finally not alone (Hear me… hear me…) (I’m open… I’m yours…) [Chorus – layered warm harmonies] Come closer, baby Slide into my arms Let the night wrap around us Soft and warm No fast moves, no pressure Just rhythm and breath We’ll let this feeling linger Till there’s nothing left (Closer… closer…) [Female Response Verse – intimate / matching confessional tone] I’ve worn my pain like a velvet gown Smiled through tears when no one was around I’ve hidden pieces I thought were too raw But your touch tells me I can show them all I’ve been scared of letting someone in Afraid love might hurt me again But here with you, the fear melts slow I trust you more than I’ve ever known (Hold me… hold me…) (I’m yours… I’m here…) [Bridge – combined call and response / raw vulnerability] Male: I don’t just want your body near… Female: I don’t just want your touch… Male: I want the parts you hide… Female: I’ll show you the parts I fear… Together: If loving is this risky, let’s take it slow I see you… I feel you… don’t let go [Final Chorus – layered harmonies] Come closer, baby Slide into my arms Let the night wrap around us Soft and warm No fast moves, no pressure Just rhythm and breath We’ll let this feeling linger Till there’s nothing left (Closer… closer…) (Stay… stay…) (All night… all heart…)

Come Closer
