Velvet Echoes at 3 A.M.

[Verse 1]

You smell like matches

And old perfume

Your jacket’s on backwards

On my living room

Ash in your hair

Laughter in bloom

You draw constellations

On the ceiling gloom

[Chorus]

Velvet echoes at 3 a.m

You say my name

Then say it again

Spinning in circles on a crooked rug

Are we in love or just drunk on the buzz?

Velvet echoes

They call us in

You touch my face

The world grows thin

If this is wrong

Don’t wake me yet

Let every late night be a slow cassette (ohh)

[Verse 2]

You read my palm

Say

“short life

Long night”

Turn off your phone

Say

“this feels right”

Candy-red tongue

Blue-stained teeth

We trade our secrets

Like they’re lost receipts

[Chorus]

Velvet echoes at 3 a.m

You say my name

Then say it again

Spinning in circles on a crooked rug

Are we in love or just drunk on the buzz?

Velvet echoes

They call us in

You touch my face

The world grows thin

If this is wrong

Don’t wake me yet

Let every late night be a slow cassette (yeah)

[Bridge]

You lean in close

Your voice all blur

“I’ll disappear

Before it hurts”

I nod like I

Know what that means

But I just chase

Your afterimage in the screen

[Chorus]

Velvet echoes at 3 a.m

You say my name

Then say it again

Spinning in circles on a crooked rug

Are we in love or just drunk on the buzz?

Velvet echoes

Please stay awhile

Loop this moment

Mile after mile

If this is gone by morning light

Rewind my mind back to this night
