[Intro] (A phone ring effect plays twice over a smooth, looping R&B bassline and warm chords) [Spoken Word - Female Voice] (Sighs) "Hey. Look, I’m not about to sit here and play these games tonight. The candles are burning down, the music is playing... I just need to know one thing." [Verse 1] (Singing begins, smooth and sultry) It's 11 PM and the rain is hitting the glass I'm pouring a drink, wondering if this is gonna last You said you were leaving your house an hour ago But your phone keeps hitting voicemail, keeping it low I put on your favorite dress, the one that you like Now I’m pacing the floor under the hallway light [Pre-Chorus] My patience is wearing thin, the ice is melting down I don’t want another empty promise in this town Either you're all the way in, or you're letting me go Don't keep me waiting in the shadows [Chorus] (The drum groove locks in, deep and sexy) Are you coming or not? Is it real or a phase? Are you pulling me close just to leave me in a maze? 'Cause the sheets are getting cold and the night is getting hot Baby, look at the clock... [Verse 2] (Vocals get softer, more intimate) I hear a car pull up, but it just drives by Leaving me here with a question mark in my eye I'm too grown for the hide-and-seek, too tired for the chase If you don't want my love, someone else will take your place But I'm re-calling the way that you touch me, it's a crime That's the only reason I'm giving you extra time [Pre-Chorus] But my patience is wearing thin, the ice is melting down I don’t want another empty promise in this town Either you're all the way in, or you're letting me go Don't keep me waiting in the shadows [Chorus] Are you coming or not? Is it real or a phase? Are you pulling me close just to leave me in a maze? 'Cause the sheets are getting cold and the night is getting hot Baby, look at the clock... Are you coming or not? [Bridge] (Drums drop out completely, leaving just a deep, pulsing bass and a soft jazz guitar) [Spoken Word - Female Voice] "Seriously. I’m not doing this. Either you’re outside my door in five minutes, or I’m locking it for the night. Your choice." [Chorus] (The beat hits back with full intensity, layered background harmonies swelling) Are you coming or not? Is it real or a phase? Are you pulling me close just to leave me in a maze? 'Cause the sheets are getting cold and the night is getting hot Baby, look at the clock... Are you coming or not? [Outro] (Music fades down to a soft, lingering piano chord) (Singing softly) Don't make me wait... Mm, yeah. [Spoken Word - Female Voice] (Clicking sound of a door deadbolt locking) "Too late." (Silence)
