With Every Breath I Take

Slow-burning R&B ballad with male vocals; warm electric piano and silky bass, subtle guitar slides, soft rimshot groove, Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and swelling pads, Occasional falsetto ad-libs and a late-song lift in key to heighten the emotional climax, sensual, male vocals

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] You move through my day like a secret In the steam of my coffee at dawn In the quiet ache right before midnight You’re the name my heartbeat draws Every inhale spells you gently Every exhale calls you home I’ve been saving up forever Just to never sleep alone [Chorus] With every breath I take You’re the fire in my chest Love I can feel your soul Running barefoot through my head Love I’m counting down the miles ‘Til I’m standing at your door Gonna love you like you’ve never Never been loved before (oh) [Verse 2] I see your dress on my chair in the morning Your smile framed on my wall Haven’t touched your skin for the first time yet But my spirit knows it all I’ve been tracing out a life with you Down the aisle in my mind so slow Once I finally feel your fingers in mine I won’t ever let you go [Chorus] With every breath I take You’re the fire in my chest Love I can feel your soul Running barefoot through my head Love I’m counting down the miles ‘Til I’m standing at your door Gonna love you like you’ve never Never been loved before [Bridge] I’m learning how to show up Every promise Every prayer Building us a place to fall You’ll be safe inside my care (yeah) Your wild heart on my pillow Your wild faith on my tongue I’m ready for forever And forever’s just begun (oh yeah) [Chorus] With every breath I take You’re the fire in my chest Love I can feel your soul Running barefoot through my head Love I’m counting down the miles ‘Til I’m standing at your door Gonna love you like you’ve never Never been loved before
