[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…)
