Midnight Velvet and Candles

The room glows low in velvet light

Your secret stands across the night

A lipstick trace, a cigarette grin

I know the game, so let it begin

The clock keeps spinning toward midnight

And every shot, it feels so right

I'm stepping closer, slow and sweet

With a little danger at my feet

Come on, darling, let the candles burn

Every forbidden wish gets a turn

We're grown enough to taste the spark

To leave our fingerprints in the dark

Come on, darling, don't you pretend

Tonight is where the rules all bend

A little sin in a velvet dress

A little mischief, nothing less

The mirror laughs in amber flame

You say my name like it's a game

The baseline purrs, the skyline blurs

And all your caution disappears

The moon is draped in sugar and smoke

Every sweet lie is one more joke

I'm holding your gaze like a spell

And I can tell you're under it well

Come on, darling, let the candles burn

Every forbidden wish gets a turn

We're grown enough to taste the spark

To leave our fingerprints in the dark

Come on, darling, don't you pretend

Tonight is where the rules all end

A little thin in a velvet dress

A little mischief, nothing less

Secret shimmer on your tongue

Old regrets feel young again

As the night has walked on

We'll just smile and let it spin

Come on, darling, let the candles burn

Every forbidden wish gets a turn

We're grown enough to taste the spark

To leave our fingerprints in the dark

Come on, darling, don't you pretend

Tonight is where the rule's all been

A little sin in a velvet dress

Like a little mischief, nothingness
