lyrics & structure
1. intro (instrumental – 8 bars)
· wurlitzer riff (melting into a fender rhodes swell)
· upright bass slides in with a half+time pocket groove
· brush snare and shaker for tеxture
“mmm… yeah…” (ad+lib whispers, d’angеlo+style)
+++
2. verse 1
hennessy slow on your lips, residual sips
moonlight caught in the curve of your hips
no words,just the hum of the fridge
your fingers trace where the soul connects
time don’t move here, it just flexes
stretchin’shadows ‘cross the rex sheets
you say my name like a hymn,no text needed
just the glide of your breath where my neck meets it
+++
3. pre+chorus
liquid courage, but we ain’t scared
just two shadows meltin’in the easy chair
no neon lies,no cheap champagne
just the truth in the way you say my name…
+++
4. chorus
hennessy kisses, thick like the truth
no metaphors burnin’brighter than you
silk on my conscience,love’s a dark brew
sippin’the moment—
slow…slow… slow…
(harmonies stack: “ooooh, slow…”)
+++
5. verse 2
cigarette smoke curls like your cursive
last call,but we ain’t nervous
the room spins,but we the axis
you laugh low—that’s my favorite habit
no clocks, just the spin of the vinyl
miles davis skippin’like a shy child
your legs slow+dance‘cross my lap
every glance got its own aftermath…
+++
6. bridge (instrumental breakdown)
· muted trumpet solo (think roy hargrove’s work with d’angelo)
· live bass walks under wurlitzer stabs
· ad+libs: “ain’t no rush… take your time…”
+++
7. final chorus (extended, with harmonies)
hennessy kisses… (ooh, so slow…)
thicker than the truth…(truth… truth…)
no cheap lights,just the moon’s resume
and the way you taste when the world fades away…
(outro: falsetto ad+libs, instruments drop out one by one, leaving only bass and breath.)
