Late Night Soul

Intro]

(Soft, muffled synth chords slowly fade in. A distant, echoing vocal sample cuts through).

(Spoken quietly over the beat)

Yeah... late night static on the line.

You know exactly what this does to me.

3 AM, my phone ring ring ring

You're asking if I'm free and available to meet yeah

Said you were in the neighborhood

But we both know that's never good

I’m fighting off the instinct to turn you down down down

'Cause every time you're near, I lose my mind

You got that hold on me, that I can’t resist you

And I'm falling right back, helplessly.

(The bass kicks in deeper, percussion starts rolling)

You pull me in with just a single Midnite call

I tell myself I won’t take your call but with your name on my screen, becuz my heart won’t allow me not to answer your call

Becuz when you whisper softly in my ear

All of my logic just disappears.

(Melodies become smooth, layered with lush vocal harmonies)

It’s just late night static in the air

Caught in the middle of all my sexy thoughts for you ah Yeah Yeah Ah Yeah Yeah but I don't even care

Yeah, we’re playing with fire every single time

Crossing the, crossing the, crossing the line

Oh, I try to let you go

But my heart just moves too slow

Becuz you got that hold on me

You my heart beat my heart beat

(The drums pull back, leaving a moody, stripped-back groove)

You got me Driving over streetlights

Practicing the words I’ll say to you:

"We gotta keep it casual, no strings attached."

But looking in your eyes, having me weakened in my knees

Tell me what I'm supposed to do, Babey Gal

When the only thing I want is you,

Aweh Salutas

You pull me in with just a single Midnite call

I tell myself I won’t take the chance

But when you whisper softly in my ear

All of my logic just disappears.

It’s just late night static in the air

Caught in the middle of all my sexy thoughts for you ah Yeah Yeah Ah Yeah Yeah but I don't even care

Yeah, we’re playing with fire every single time

Crossing the, crossing the, crossing the line

Oh, I try to let you go

But my heart just moves too slow

Becuz you got that hold on me

You my heart beat my heart beat

(Tempo slows down slightly, beat drops out for a raw, emotional vocal run)

No tags, no labels, no promises made...

But it’s getting harder in the moment

If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right

Can we just stay in the static tonight?

Ooh, yeah, just stay right here... with me

Aweh Salutas Babey Gal

It’s just late night static in the air

Caught in the middle of all my sexy thoughts for you ah Yeah Yeah Ah Yeah Yeah but I don't even care

Yeah, we’re playing with fire every single time

Crossing the, crossing the, crossing the line

Oh, I try to let you go

But my heart just moves too slow

Becuz you got that hold on me

You my heart beat my heart beat

(Beat slowly strips away, leaving just a faint, crackling synth pad)

Just static...

Ooh, yeah, just stay with me

Keep your body close to mine

Let’s dance the nite slowly away

Don't let it go or Fade out...

Stay stay stay with me Aweh Yeah Yeah Yeah….

Salutas Cape Town in the Mix , Bossey Nakes on the Beat Aweh Yeah yeah yeah….
