Slow Jam for Gerald

Lyrics

Verse 1
Curtains half-open
Street glow on your face
You trace your name
On the small of my waist

You pull me closer
I forget my doubts
Every soft breath
Turns the whole room loud

Chorus
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Time just folds into your hands
Every kiss is saying, “I’m here”
Every touch is “I understand”
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Nothing else is in my head
Just your heartbeat over mine now
As we tangle on this bed (oh yeah)

Verse 2
You say I’m sacred
In that sleepy tone
I lose my language
When you find my soul

Sheets slide around us
Like they know our names
You smile, I’m melting
All my guard in flames

Chorus
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Time just folds into your hands
Every kiss is saying, “I’m here”
Every touch is “I understand”
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Nothing else is in my head
Just your heartbeat over mine now
As we tangle on this bed

Bridge
Say it again
Say you are mine
Let the world wait
Outside this line

Hold me so close
I forget before
Just you and me
Nothing needing more (yeah)

Chorus
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Time just folds into your hands
Every kiss is saying, “I’m here”
Every touch is “I understand”
When I’m making love to you, Gerald
Nothing else is in my head
Just your heartbeat over mine now
As we tangle on this bed (Gerald)
