Velvet Hold

Lyrics

Verse 1
Come here, pretty thing
Let your hands go still
I know what you want
I know what you will

Black silk on your skin
Moonlight on your neck
You tremble when I call
And I love you like that

Pre-Chorus
Lean in close
Let the room fade out
No one else can hold you
Like I hold you now

Chorus
Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
I pull you close
You fall again

Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
Say my name soft
And come back in

Verse 2
I trace your pulse slow
Like a secret flame
You bow your head down
When I say your name

Your lips on my collar
Your breath on my throat
I give you a kingdom
In a single note

Pre-Chorus
Lean in close
Let the room fade out
No one else can hold you
Like I hold you now

Chorus
Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
I pull you close
You fall again

Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
Say my name soft
And come back in

Bridge
Dream with your eyes shut
Let the dark get sweet
I’ll be your gravity
Underneath your feet

If you want more
I’m right here still
Wild and steady
All your fear goes still

Chorus
Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
I pull you close
You fall again

Stay in my hands
Stay in my hands
Say my name soft
And come back in
