Low Lights

[Verse 1]
Door clicks
You lean in the frame
Half-smile
Shirt loose
You cross the room in slow miles
Fingers trace
Little circles on my sleeve
Breath close
You say you’re not ready to leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hands on my shoulders
My name on your tongue
Time moving slower
Like the night’s come undone
You tell me your secrets
One by one by one
[sultry female ad-lib: “tell me
Baby”]
[Chorus]
Low lights
Skin glow honey on your thighs
Slow wine
You got truth hidden in your sighs
Say my name
Let it fall
Let it fall just right
You and I
Deep talk
Deep touch in the low lights
[Verse 2]
Soft laugh
You’re tracing shapes on my chest
Eyes speak
Saying everything the rest left unsaid
Knee brush
Little spark running straight to my head
Whole world
Shrinks down to this couch and this bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Your pulse on my wrist now
Heart in my hand
We’re drifting in feathers
But sinking like sand
You’re pulling me closer
Past any plan
[female ad-lib: “don’t stop
Don’t stop”]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tell me what you crave
I’ll meet you there
Right where your guard falls
Right where you’re bare
Not just tonight
I want your daylight fears
Salt from your lips
Sweet from your tears
[low vocal register]
You whisper “I’m scared”
I answer “me too”
But I’m not going anywhere
If it’s with you
[Chorus]

Velvety late-night R&B over warm, rounded bass and soft, gliding pads. Sparse, syncopated drums with whispery hats; male vocals upfront and intimate, close-mic’d, with airy female ad-libs floating in the sides. Chorus widens with stacked harmonies and subtle pitch-shifted doubles, bridge strips back to bass, snaps, and reverb-soaked keys before a slow, lingering outro., r&b, mellow, seductive, smooth, low, warm
