[Intro — Female] (ice settles in a glass; keys dim under vinyl crackle) Don’t touch nothin’ yet. I like to see who can wait. [Verse 1 — Female] Black granite gleamin’, heel click, slow walk Your cologne got bass, make the whole kitchen talk I don’t cook much, but I season a stare Put a little gold in the air, now the mood got flair Your hand near mine, not quite, that’s clever I like a little “maybe” with my “right now, never” Champagne-colored lights on the cabinet frame You say my name low like it cost you a flame I got a crown on the counter, don’t ask who it for I say “whoever act right,” then I laugh at the door B*tch, not you—(laughs) I mean the thought of a fool Who think one sweet line buy the whole master plan But you got that calm, that cool in your sleeve Make a woman with ten exits wanna stay till she leave [Pre-Chorus — Female] (rim clicks disappear; bass breathes) No rush, no fuss, no little fake scene The prettiest things happen just off-screen [Chorus — Female + Female] Countertop crown, set it down slow You got that look like you already know Countertop crown, two glasses, one sound We don’t need a throne when the whole place bow down Countertop crown, midnight so clean You say it in a whisper, I answer in between Countertop crown, don’t turn on the light Some chemistry look better dressed up at night [Verse 2 — Female] (soft guitar reverse, smoky contralto enters close) I came for one song, now the radio gone Your laugh got a little bit of trouble in the tone I don’t make promises I can’t keep in tune But I can make a slow dance out of an empty spoon Your rings on the granite make a rhythm to follow I watch the city blink and forget about tomorrow You move like a secret with a key in the heel I move like I mean it, ’cause I do—keep it real No heavy talk, no pressure in the air Just your plum-colored jacket on the back of my chair I know you got a thousand ways to leave me on read But you’re still in the kitchen with your crown by the bread So let the ice melt down, let the clock lose face I don’t need your whole world, just a minute of grace [Chorus — Female + Female] Countertop crown, set it down slow You got that look like you already know Countertop crown, two glasses, one sound We don’t need a throne when the whole place bow down Countertop crown, midnight so clean You say it in a whisper, I answer in between Countertop crown, don’t turn on the light Some chemistry look better dressed up at night [Bridge — Female + Female] (beat drops out; glass clink, close harmonies) [Female] You want the crown? [Female] I want the chance. [Female] You want the night? [Female] I want the dance. [Female] Careful—my patience got expensive taste. [Female] Then let me spend one song in your space. [Final Chorus — Female + Female] (full bass returns; stacked harmonies) Countertop crown, set it down slow You got that look like you already know Countertop crown, two glasses, one sound We don’t need a throne when the whole place bow down [Outro — Female] (vinyl crackle, distant laugh) Leave the crown there. I’ll decide in the morning.
