Candlelight

(Deep breath, sound of keys jingling, door creaking open)

Yeah...

I’m finally home.

I wasn't ready for this.

No, I definitely wasn't ready...

Throw my jacket on the chair, shadow’s dancing on the wall

Follow the scent of vanilla and sandalwood down the hall

I see the glow before I even reach the room

A ring of fire, breaking up the gloom

And there you are, center of the universe

The kind of vision make a confident man rehearse.

Black hair flowing like a river on the hardwood floor

Tan skin glowing, got me begging for a little more

Midnight lace, hugging every curve just right

You’re the only star I’m seeing in the sky tonight.

Candlelight flickering in your eyes, girl

The way you’re looking at me, it’s a whole new world

Got my heart racing, pulse jumping through my skin

You know exactly where you want this to begin

Sexy desire, burning higher than the flame

I’m home now, baby, and I’m calling out your name.

You didn't say a word, but I hear you loud and clear

The way you move your body tells me everything I need to hear

Silk and shadows, silhouettes against the heat

My composure’s gone, you got me feeling incomplete

Without your touch, without the taste of your lips

I’m losing my mind with every sway of your hips.

(Voice drops to a whisper, stripped back beat)

Don't move... let me soak it in

Where the wax meets the wood, and the night begins

You're a masterpiece, a curated dream

Sweeter than anything I’ve ever seen.

Yeah...

Keep those candles burning.

I ain't going nowhere.

Black lace, tan skin...

My beautiful, beautiful girl.

(Fade out with heavy breathing and a deep bass hum)
