Hold Me Back

[Verse 1 – Male]
Your leg on mine
Under this table
Slow draw of your lip
Got me unstable
You laugh too close
Breath in my ear
You say
“We should behave”
But your hand’s right here
[Verse 1 – Female]
You trace that line
Up my bare thigh
We’re talkin’ work
But your eyes don’t lie
You say
“Relax
We’ll keep it clean”
While your fingers write your name
On my inner seam (mmm)
[Pre-Chorus – Both]
We’re speakin’ in code
In this crowded room
Every word too slow
When I need you soon
You say
“Be good”
While you pull me near
If this is us behaving
Why you biting my ear? (hey)
[Chorus – Both]
Hold me back
‘Cause I wanna leave marks on your back tonight
Scratch my name down your spine
Let the neighbors fight
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
Hold me back
‘Cause your hands drawing fire up under my dress
Wanna slide
Wanna ride
Wanna make a mess
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
[Verse 2 – Male]
You shift your hips
Like you own this seat
Whisper what you’d do
If we hit delete
On the group chat
Friends
This polite facade
You say
“Later
Maybe”
While your heel hits hard
[Verse 2 – Female]
You stir that drink
Watch my mouth chase ice
You say
“Calm down”
But your grip’s like vice
Under my jacket
You explore slow
If this is holding back
I’m scared to know (ooh)
[Pre-Chorus – Female then Male]
My pulse in your palm
Yeah
You feel it jump
Slide just a bit higher
Then you stop at the bump
You mumble “Not here”
While your thumb goes deep
If we stay one more minute
I’ma climb your seat
[Chorus – Both]
Hold me back
‘Cause I wanna leave marks on your back tonight
Scratch my name down your spine
Let the neighbors fight
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
Hold me back
‘Cause your hands drawing fire up under my dress
Wanna slide
Wanna ride
Wanna make a mess
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
[Bridge – Call & Response]
[Male]
Say
“Stop” (you don’t)
Say
“Wait” (you won’t)
You say
“We should go slow”
While you touch where they can’t know
[Female]
Say
“Stay” (I will)
“Just chill” (I’m trill)
I say
“We should be saints”
While I grind against your waist
[Both]
Every “no” sounds just like “more”
Every “later” drips “right now”
If this is us on hold
Baby
I’m about to break that vow (yeah)
[Chorus – Both]
Hold me back
‘Cause I wanna leave marks on your back tonight
Scratch my name down your spine
Let the neighbors fight
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
Hold me back
‘Cause your hands drawing fire up under my dress
Wanna slide
Wanna ride
Wanna make a mess
I’m tryna act right
Tryna act right
But I just want you
Want you all over me
[Outro – Both]
So hold me back
Or take me home
Either way tonight
I’m yours to own (oh yeah)

Verses stay tight and intimate with close-mic whispers, pre-chorus adds rising white-noise swells and filtered chords, then the chorus drops into a thick, sidechained synth lead and stacked harmonies.
