Gold Chains & Heartbeats

Lyrics

Style: Smooth R&B / Modern Pop (Think SZA meets Ariana Grande) Tempo: Mid-tempo, sensual, with a heavy, sweet bassline ​(Intro) (Soft guitar pluck layered with a deep, echoing 808 bass) Yeah, yeah... Mm, listen... They say love is blind, but I see you perfectly. ​(Verse 1) Standing in the hallway, caught up in your gaze, Every little word you say leaves me in a haze. Got the black dress on, but my guard is dropping down, I used to be the queen of a cold, lonely town. But you touched my hand and the ice began to melt, This is a feeling that I’ve never, ever felt. Gold chains shining, but you are the prize, I drowning in the warmth of your deep brown eyes. ​(Pre-Chorus) (Building up the tension, hi-hats speeding up) And I don’t care about the noise outside, With you, I’ve got nothing left to hide. They can try to pull us down, but we’re too high, You and me against the world, under the midnight sky. ​**(Chorus) - [TRENDING SHORTS CLIP START] ** 'Cause your love is powerful, sweeter than wine, Every single heartbeat telling me you’re mine. Locked in your arms, yeah, this is the place, No one in the world could ever take your space. Baby, you’re my anchor, you’re my saving grace, Yeah, your love is powerful... (Oh-oh, yeah) And I never wanna leave your embrace. ** [TRENDING SHORTS CLIP END] ** ​(Verse 2) (Beat drops back in with a smooth, walking bassline) People talk a lot, they try to guess our vibe, But they can’t understand the energy we describe. It’s the way you hold my waist when the room gets loud, The way you make me feel like the only one in the crowd. I wear my heart on my sleeve like a luxury brand, Safe and secure whenever you hold my hand. ​(Bridge) (Music slows down, intimate vocal focus with beautiful harmonies) If this is a dream, don’t wake me up tonight. Hold me a little closer, keep the future bright. They can keep the riches, they can keep the gold, Your love is the only wealth I ever wanna hold. (Bring the heavy beat back in for a massive finish) Yeah, you’re the only one... ​(Chorus) 'Cause your love is powerful, sweeter than wine, Every single heartbeat telling me you’re mine. Locked in your arms, yeah, this is the place, No one in the world could ever take your space. Baby, you’re my anchor, you’re my saving grace, Yeah, your love is powerful... ​(Outro) (Guitar fades out, soft vocals fading gently) Sweeter than wine... Every single heartbeat. You’re mine. Yeah, gold chains and heartbeats... (Fade to silence)
