Velvet Shadows

Lyrics

Verse 1
You lean in slow
Like a locked room
Velvet on my skin
And a silver moon

Your name tastes like smoke
On my lower lip
I don’t say yes
I just let it slip

Pre-Chorus
Closer, closer
Till the air goes thin
Hold that secret
Let the dark begin

Chorus
Velvet shadows, pull me under
Velvet shadows, make me wonder
You and me
In the in-between
Velvet shadows, close around us
Velvet shadows, softly cloud us
Say my name
Like you mean the things

Verse 2
I trace your scar
With a trembling thumb
You laugh like a vow
On the edge of being undone

My dress on the chair
Your watch on the floor
We’re not in a room
We’re in something more

Pre-Chorus
Closer, closer
Till the air goes thin
Hold that secret
Let the dark begin

Chorus
Velvet shadows, pull me under
Velvet shadows, make me wonder
You and me
In the in-between
Velvet shadows, close around us
Velvet shadows, softly cloud us
Say my name
Like you mean the things

Bridge
If morning comes
Let it wait outside
I want your pulse
Like a hidden tide

Turn the key
Leave the world behind
We can disappear
But not this time

Final Chorus
Velvet shadows, pull me under
Velvet shadows, make me wonder
You and me
In the in-between
Velvet shadows, close around us
Velvet shadows, softly cloud us
Say my name
Like you mean the things
Velvet shadows
Stay with me
Velvet shadows
Let us be
