Hold This Minute
Takudzwa Zindoga
male vocals
emotional
slow
romantic
Warm
plush sub-bass
Pop-R&B with a slow 84 BPM sway
finger-snapped groove
and gentle kick pulses; verse rides intimate and close-mic with a single electric piano
pre-chorus opens into stacked harmonies and rising pads
chorus lands wide with doubled lead and soft gang responses. Tape hiss
reverse swell into the hook
and a final key-change lift. Glossy
and breath-close male vocals.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You got your hand in mine
Like you knew my pulse
I said, "stay right here"
You said, "that's the plan"
We watched the second hand
Drag across the room
And every little tick
Felt like losing you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could bend the clock
I'd fold it in your arms
If you looked at me now
You'd see my whole heart
I don't want a chapter
I want the same old yes
Every breath I take
Brings me back to this
[Chorus]
Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute
My heart, your heart
Just you and me
And nobody else
Hold this minute
Say you mean it
Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute
Close like this
I was yours before
And I'm yours still
[Verse 2]
You traced my jawline slow
Like you were reading home
I kissed your forehead first
Then your shaking hands
You said, "promise me"
I said, "look at me"
"No other name for me
Ever gets the key"
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night ran out
I'd ask for more of it
If the world turned away
I'd stand in front of it
I don't need a crowd
I don't need a stage
I just need your voice
Saying my name
[Chorus]
Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute
My heart, your heart
Just you and me
And nobody else
Hold this minute
Say you mean it
Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute
Close like this
I was yours before
And I'm yours still
[Bridge]
If time breaks down
Let it break on us
If the whole world fades
We'll stay enough
I can feel your truth
Beat against my chest
You are my forever
I don't need less
[Final Chorus]
Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute
My heart, your heart
Just you and me
And nobody else
Hold this minute
Say you mean it
Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute
Close like this
I was yours before
And I'm yours still
You got your hand in mine
Like you knew my pulse
I said, "stay right here"
You said, "that's the plan"
We watched the second hand
Drag across the room
And every little tick
Felt like losing you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could bend the clock
I'd fold it in your arms
If you looked at me now
You'd see my whole heart
I don't want a chapter
I want the same old yes
Every breath I take
Brings me back to this
[Chorus]
Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute
My heart, your heart
Just you and me
And nobody else
Hold this minute
Say you mean it
Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute
Close like this
I was yours before
And I'm yours still
[Verse 2]
You traced my jawline slow
Like you were reading home
I kissed your forehead first
Then your shaking hands
You said, "promise me"
I said, "look at me"
"No other name for me

If the world turned away
I'd stand in front of it

Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute
My heart, your heart

Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute

[Final Chorus]
Hold this minute
Hold it with me
Don't let it slip
Don't let it leave
Hold this minute

And nobody else
Hold this minute
Say you mean it
Say it's forever
Say it and keep it
Hold this minute
Close like this
I was yours before
And I'm yours still
