Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You watch me smile — I see you freeze,
you’re reading every move like poetry.
I take my time, I take my space,
you lean a little in but try to save your face.
I know your pulse is skipping beats —
don’t worry, babe… I wrote the sheet.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you’re choosing me tonight,
but I can see it in your eyes —
you’re already halfway mine.
⸻
[Chorus]
Tonight I set the tempo, love —
na-na-na, try to keep up.
You’re giving in without a fight,
your shadow follows where I walk.
I draw the line, you cross it clean —
call it fate or call it heat.
Either way, this victory
was written long before you blinked.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I talk sweet with a razor edge,
I break the rules you almost kept.
You say “stop,” but then you laugh —
you love the danger in my half-and-half.
I move, you sway, like gravity…
it’s not a chase — it’s chemistry.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell yourself you’re in control,
but baby, your heartbeat always knows —
you’re falling where I go.
⸻
[Chorus]
Tonight I set the tempo, love —
na-na-na, try to keep up.
You’re giving in without a fight,
your shadow follows where I walk.
I draw the line, you cross it clean —
call it fate or call it heat.
Either way, this victory
feels sweeter when you want it, babe.
⸻
[Break — whispered, playful]
Ah…
don’t rush…
just fall.
⸻
[Final Chorus — triumphant]
Tonight I set the tempo, love —
na-na-na, the beat’s on fire.
You lean in just a breath too close,
your pulse confesses every desire.
I made the rhythm you obey,
you’re tangled in my melody.
And darling, when you give me victory…
I swear it sounds like destiny.
I don’t chase — I conduct.
Every breath falls into place.
You didn’t lose, you didn’t fall…
you arrived at your fate.
The lights go down, the beat goes still,
the room remembers what we were —
and when the silence learns my name,
it spells your heartbeat, word for word.
You watch me smile — I see you freeze,
you’re reading every move like poetry.
I take my time, I take my space,
you lean a little in but try to save your face.
I know your pulse is skipping beats —
don’t worry, babe… I wrote the sheet.
