I WANT TO CLAIM YOU [Intro - Male, low and close] I want to claim you not like ownership like devotion learning where to put its hands I want to claim you like a vow finds a voice like fire finds the altar like my body finally understands what my soul already knew [Verse 1] I feel you before I touch you in the quiet under my skin a pull behind my ribs a heat I cannot pretend away You move through my mind like candlelight over water soft, dangerous, holy and I keep coming back to the same truth I want to know you not halfway not politely not from a safe distance I want the realness of you the breath the trembling the laughter after the intensity the way your eyes change when your whole body says yes [Pre-Chorus] And I will not rush the temple I will not force the gate I will meet you where you open and worship what you let me taste But when you choose me when you reach for me when your body trusts my name I want to be the man who makes your nervous system feel safe enough to become flame [Chorus] I want to claim you with both hands and a steady heart I want to hold you where the world falls apart I want to learn every sigh every pulse every secret place you hide I want to be the deepest pleasure your body has ever known the safest fire the strongest home I want to claim you with reverence in my bones not taking not proving just loving you so deep you feel fully known [Verse 2] I feel protective of this connection like something sacred breathing between us not fragile but deserving of guardianship I want to stand at the edge of us with clear eyes with clean hands with no games in my bloodstream No careless touch No half-hearted hunger No empty words dressed up as desire Only presence Only truth Only my body saying I am here I am ready I choose you [Pre-Chorus 2] I want to know the map of you slowly deeply skin to soul Where you soften where you shiver where you melt where you take control I want the night to open I want the breath to deepen I want your name in my mouth like a prayer I was born keeping [Chorus] I want to claim you with both hands and a steady heart I want to hold you where the world falls apart I want to learn every sigh every pulse every sacred rhythm inside I want to be the deepest pleasure your body has ever known the safest fire the strongest home I want to claim you with reverence in my bones not taking not proving just loving you so deep you feel fully known [Bridge - intimate, building] Let me be near Let me be true Let me become the place your body returns to Let me protect the softness you only show when you trust Let me meet your desire with patience with hunger with love I want the holy and human the tender and wild the breathless yes and the quiet smile I want the afterglow conversation the forehead kiss the tangled sheets the sacred ordinary of you next to me [Final Chorus - fuller, devotional] I want to claim you like devotion claims a vow like thunder claims the sky like my heart claims now I want to hold you through the heat and through the hush make your body feel adored make your spirit feel untouched I want to be the deepest pleasure your body has ever known the safest fire the strongest home I want to claim you only where you open only where love is shown Not taking not owning not needing control Just a man on his knees before the beauty of your soul [Outro - whispered male vocal] I desire you I protect us I choose you with my whole body And when you are ready I will meet you there deeply slowly completely
