[Style: Southern country, soul, slow groove] [Female alto — smoky, warm, intimate, emotionally expressive] [Warm acoustic guitar, deep bass, brushed drums, Hammond organ, subtle pedal steel] [Slow-burning, sensual, tender, mature; build gradually without becoming overly sexual] [Verse 1] [Gentle acoustic guitar; intimate, conversational vocal] Can you feel my breath against your neck? Hear the words I haven’t spoken yet? My hair falling softly across your skin Every little touch pulls me in I want you, I want you now But I’m trying to slow it down Your lips meet mine and I lose control There’s a fire burning in my soul [Pre-Chorus] [Deep bass enters; soft brushed drums; pedal steel begins to swell] My heart is racing My hands are shaking Every second draws me closer still I try to fight it But I can’t deny it There’s something here I can’t conceal [Chorus] [Full slow soul-country groove; warm Hammond organ; rich vocal harmonies] Come a little closer Let me feel you near Hold me just a little longer Till the world disappears There’s a fire between us Burning soft and slow This is desire And you already know [Verse 2] [Pull back slightly; acoustic guitar and bass lead; smoky, intimate vocal] Let my fingers memorize your face Let me linger in this quiet place Your lips so close, I can hardly breathe And every little look is pulling me I bite my lip and look away But my smile says more than words could say You touch me and the whole world fades And I get lost in the love we’ve made [Pre-Chorus] [Drums gradually build; pedal steel answers the vocal] My heart is racing My pulse is pounding Every beat is louder than before I’m barely holding on To all this wanting And I don’t want to fight it anymore [Chorus] [Stronger vocal; soulful lift; layered harmonies] Come a little closer Let me feel you near Hold me just a little longer Till the world disappears There’s a fire between us Burning soft and slow This is desire And you already know [Bridge] [Drop down to acoustic guitar, soft Hammond, and vocal] [Very intimate; vulnerable and tender] No more words between us Nothing left to hide Just the warmth of your body And your heartbeat next to mine Let the moment take us Let the outside fade There’s nowhere else I’d rather be Than right here in your embrace [Final Chorus] [Full lush soul-country arrangement; deepest groove; emotional vocal peak] Come a little closer Let me feel you near Hold me just a little longer Till the world disappears There’s a fire between us Burning soft and slow This is desire And you already know [Outro] This is desire And you already know [pedal steel gradually fade to silence]
