You Have Been Claimed
You Have Been Claimed
Verse 1
Midnight’s melting into blue,
Smoke is curling round the lights.
You walked in like you didn’t know
You’d already lost the fight.
Every woman watched you breathe,
Every man pretended cool,
But you felt my eyes before I spoke,
Baby, you know the rule.
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t chase, didn’t raise my voice,
Just let the rhythm lean.
You felt it shift inside your chest
Before you looked at me.
Chorus
You have been claimed, don’t play surprised,
This groove don’t lie, it knows your name.
I don’t shout, I don’t need to beg,
The night already chose its lane.
I claim you, slow, I claim you sure,
Like moonlight claims the tide.
You are mine, all mine tonight,
And you don’t even try to hide.
Verse 2
Your smile tried to act untouched,
Like you still had somewhere to be.
But your glass stayed full, your body leaned,
And your eyes kept finding me.
I stirred my drink, let silence talk,
Let the band do what they do.
Men like you don’t fall from words—
You fall when truth moves through.
Pre-Chorus
No traps, no lines, no desperate games,
Just timing dressed in lace.
You leaned in close, your breath gave way,
And I saw it on your face.
Chorus
You have been claimed, feel it now,
That low heat under your skin.
Every note wraps around your spine,
Pulling you further in.
I claim you, yes, I claim you deep,
Not fast, not loud, just right.
You are mine, all mine tonight,
Say it softly in your eyes.
[Instrumental Break]
Verse 3
Your past tried knocking at the door,
Old love with a tired key.
But I’ve been reading men like books
Since before you noticed me.
I don’t compete with what’s already gone,
Or ghosts that lost their chance.
I just stand still and let desire
Ask you up to dance.
Bridge
Come closer, hear the floorboards sigh,
This room is holding breath.
I don’t cage, I don’t corner hearts,
I let them choose what’s left.
No rush, no need to justify,
No crown, no need to kneel,
Just two souls locked in common time,
Playing something real.
Chorus (Lower, intimate)
You have been claimed, not by force,
But by a pull you understand.
I didn’t take you from your world,
You reached out for my hand.
I claim you, calm, I claim you true,
In every sway and slide.
You are mine, all mine tonight,
And I’m yours if you decide.
Verse 4
Last call whispered through the room,
Heels clicking tired sounds.
But we’re still sitting in the pocket
Where the one gets found.
You asked me soft, “So what is this?”
Like you didn’t already know.
I smiled slow and let the bass
Answer nice and low.
Chorus (Full band, rich harmony)
You have been claimed, hear the drums,
Every brushstroke says it plain.
This ain’t a cage, it’s chemistry,
And you’re standing in my flame.
I claim you, deep, I claim you right,
Like night claims morning’s end.
You are mine, all mine tonight,
My lover, truth, and friend.
Outro
No papers signed, no promises loud,
Just a truth that swings too strong.
If anyone asks where you belong,
Just point to the song.
’Cause in this key, in this time,
Under this low-lit sign…
You have been claimed.
And baby—
You look real good being mine.
