[Intro] [soft vinyl crackle | brushed snare | female smoky vocal, intimate] I open my mind to you… Let you slip into my deepest blue… [Verse 1] [dusty break | clipped bass | tired female recitative, slight smile] Heart wide open, it’s pounding loud You move in closer, so gentle, without a sound. All my guards have fallen, never to be found, Jaw unlocked, heart exposed — I let you all the way down. [Pre-Chorus] [filtered guitar scrape | tension build | female vocal, intimate] Your hand stole my shawl… I walk across the sun ... Moon dancing over everything I’ve done… (You stole my shawl… you stole my shawl…) [Verse 2] [smoky jazz chords | brushed snare | tired female recitative] I get reckless with myself the second love is around, I let you slip too deep past my sacred ground. I crave every hidden side of you I’ve found, Eyes closed tight — I’m lost in you, completely drowned. [Pre-Chorus] [filtered guitar scrape | tension build | female vocal, intimate] Your hand stole my shawl… I walk across the sun ... Moon dancing over everything I’ve done… (You stole my shawl… you stole my shawl…) [Chorus] [wider chords | stubborn emotional lift | female lead | stacked female harmonies | layered female backing vocals | double-tracked hooks | soft ad-libs | emotional build-up] Light gets caught in the droplets, tears on my skin, You stole my shawl — now emptiness caves in. Shattered and exposed in this open sin, The pain of an open heart deep within. This pain paralyzes, leaves my love homeless and raw, You stole my shawl… stole my shawl… stole my all, I’m falling apart. [Bridge] [sax or trumpet solo | reverse swells | spoken female recitative] When love draws near I swing my heart’s doors wide, It ends in shattered dreams. I lose my sense of self, And suddenly I’m alone [Chorus] [bigger | gritty guitar undertow | stacked female harmonies | layered female backing vocals | double-tracked hooks | soft ad-libs | emotional build-up] Light gets caught in the droplets, tears on my skin, You stole my shawl — now the emptiness caves in. Shattered and exposed in this open sin, The pain of an open heart deep within. This pain paralyzes, leaves my love homeless and raw, You stole my shawl… stole my shawl… stole my all, I’m falling apart. [Outro] [fade vinyl crackle | soft brushed snare | female vocal, intimate] I get reckless with myself when love is around… [END]
