[Intro - low, spoken]
Raven
Against the wall.
My hand beneath your jaw.
I expected you to tremble.
You didn't.
I leaned in closer,
waiting for you to move.
But those eyes stayed on mine...
then you fucking smiled.
Oh
So that's what you like.
[Verse 1]
Silver hair soaked by the rain,
black leather, midnight chains.
Wolf on your shoulder, ice in your stare,
every warning said, stay clear.
I've never been the cautious type,
you never looked like something nice.
I stepped closer, you held your ground,
back to the wall, no one around.
My hand moved slowly to your throat,
waiting for you to tell me no.
You looked straight into my eyes
and whispered, "Don't let go."
[Pre-Chorus]
So that's your game.
You like my grip,
the darker voice,
the way I lead.
I thought your heartbeat meant fear.
Now I know...
you want me this way.
[Chorus]
You like it when I take control,
when I get close and don't let go.
When my voice gets dark and low,
you bite your lip and lose control.
Raven, I didn't know
you hid this hunger in your soul.
But now I've seen that side of you,
God, I want you even more.
I wanted you before.
Now I need you.
[Verse 2]
They all see that wolf tattoo,
think nobody gets the best of you.
Cold little smile, dangerous eyes,
making grown men think twice.
But I found what they don't see,
a Raven underneath.
You fight the world all night long,
with me, you want the armor gone.
You don't want weak.
You don't want sweet.
You want the darkness underneath.
And when I whisper, "Eyes on me,"
you bite your lip
and listen beautifully.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every move makes sense,
the way you tested my restraint.
The way you'd smile when I'd get mad,
you wanted to see what control I had.
[Chorus]
You like it when I take control,
when I get close and don't let go.
When my voice gets dark and low,
you bite your lip and lose control.
Raven, now I fucking know
what hides beneath that heart of stone.
The girl who bows for no one else
chooses me to take control.
I wanted you before.
Now I fucking need you.
[Bridge - spoken]
That's what gets me, Raven.
I wanted you
when you seemed untouchable.
Silver hair.
Cold eyes.
That fucking attitude.
I wondered what could make
a girl like you lose control.
Then I found out.
Me.
Nothing made me want you more
than watching you meet my eyes
and willingly give it to me.
[Final Chorus]
YOU LIKE IT WHEN I TAKE CONTROL,
WHEN MY VOICE GETS DARK AND LOW.
You like knowing you could stop me,
but choosing not to let me go.
Raven, now I fucking know
what hides beneath that heart of stone.
You'd never bow for anyone,
but you choose me to take control.
That's what gets me.
You could fight the fucking world,
but with me, you choose to let go.
I wanted you before.
Now wanting isn't strong enough.
Raven, I fucking crave you.
[Outro - whisper]
That night against the wall...
I thought I was discovering
what scared you.
Instead,
I discovered what you wanted.
And Raven?
You should've never let me find out.
