[Style: Sophisticated R&B, neo-soul, luxury bar lounge, mature, jazzy, cinematic night] [Vocal: Female, ennui, seductive, silky, low register, breathy phrasing] [Tempo: 84 BPM] [Production: Electric piano, upright bass, muted guitar, slow trap-soul drums, warm brass pads] [Intro] [Female Vocal: low whisper, sultry] Midnight cognac... Bitter on my tongue [Verse 1] [Female Vocal: relaxed, smoky, intimate] Amber light inside the glass Slowly pulling up the past You say nothing, I say less Still I feel you underneath my dress Not your hands, not yet, not now Just the heat you send somehow Across the bar, across the blue Every silence tastes like you [Verse 2] [Female Vocal: ennui, seductive] Neon rain against the street Velvet shadows at our feet You wear trouble like a coat I read desire in your throat I could leave, but I remain Playing cool inside the flame If you want me, take your time Make the waiting feel like wine [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal: breathy, slow build] I will not ask I will not chase But I can feel it In the space [Chorus] [Female Vocal: smooth, sensual, elegant] Midnight cognac, burn so slow Down into the deep unknown Sweet like danger, dark like smoke Make me feel what I do not show Midnight cognac, take control Warm me where the night is cold I pretend I am not gone But I have wanted you too long [Verse 3] [Female Vocal: soft, teasing, close mic] Confidence is just perfume Fading in a private room Touch the glass and watch me smile I have been lonely for a while Say my name beneath your breath Soft enough to raise the dead If I laugh and look away It means I want you more to stay [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal: fragile, sensual] Do not rush Do not explain Let the music Hold the blame [Chorus] [Female Vocal: smooth, sensual, elegant] Midnight cognac, burn so slow Down into the deep unknown Sweet like danger, dark like smoke Make me feel what I do not show Midnight cognac, take control Warm me where the night is cold I pretend I am not gone But I have wanted you too long [Bridge] [Female Vocal: whispered, almost spoken, seductive] Put the glass down Come closer Not too fast I like the hunger [Breakdown] [Female Vocal: airy ad-libs, soft melisma] Ah... Do not let me go I am not ready to be sober [Final Chorus] [Female Vocal: emotional, rich, sultry] Midnight cognac, burn so slow Take me where the secrets go Sweet like danger, dark like smoke Break the silence, make it glow Midnight cognac, take control Warm me where the night is cold I pretend I am not gone But I have wanted you too long [Outro] [Female Vocal: low whisper] Midnight cognac... Bitter makes it sweet
