[Intro — Rhodes piano, upright bass]
[Soft saxophone]
MOMO:
I should probably go...
[Pause]
...I'm not going anywhere.
[Slow beat enters]
[Verse 1]
Low lights dancing across your face
Midnight moving at a dangerous pace
Your eyes find mine from across the room
And suddenly there's nobody here but you
I know that look
Don't say a word
Some things sound better
When they aren't heard
One step closer
Now we're toe to toe
I know where this leads...
Still, I don't wanna go
[Pre-Chorus]
I had the key
I knew the way out
Had every reason
To turn around
But every time
You pull me near
The door disappears...
[Chorus]
Captive heart
Don't let me go
Pull me closer
Take it slow
One more look
And there I fall
I had the key
But I don't want it at all
Captive heart
Under your spell
I could leave
But I know myself too well
No chains on me
I'm here willingly
So tell me why
I'm handing you the key
[Verse 2]
Your fingertips brushing against my hand
Just enough to make me understand
Jazz playing low somewhere behind
While you're taking your sweet, sweet time
I tell myself
Don't lose control
Then you lean closer
And there it goes
No promises
No need tonight
Just stay right here
Till morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the door
I know the way
Could disappear
Without a trace
But when you whisper
"Stay with me..."
Why would I leave?
[Chorus]
Captive heart
Don't let me go
Pull me closer
Take it slow
One more look
And there I fall
I had the key
But I don't want it at all
Captive heart
Under your spell
I could leave
But I know myself too well
No chains on me
I'm here willingly
So tell me why
I'm handing you the key
[Bridge — piano and bass only]
Maybe captive
Isn't quite the word
When I'm the one
Who locked the door
[Soft breath]
Maybe you didn't capture me...
Maybe I stayed.
[Saxophone rises]
[Final Chorus — sultry vocals]
Captive heart
Don't let me go
Keep me close
And take it slow
One more night
One more fall
Keep the key
I don't need it at all
Captive heart
Now I understand
You never had to
Take my hand
No chains
No cage
No mystery...
I stayed because
I wanted you with me
[Outro — soft saxophone]
MOMO:
I could still leave...
[Pause]
Mm.
Maybe tomorrow.
[End]
