Velvet In The Dark

[Verse 1]

You trace my wrist

Like you’re reading lines you shouldn’t see

Your name lights up

Face down on the table

Next to his key

I lean too close

Your breath is heat against my ear

You say my name

Like it’s breaking every rule in here (mm)

[Chorus]

Velvet in the dark

That’s what you feel like on my heart

Soft and dangerous

Pulling me apart

We’re hiding in the open

Acting like we’re only friends

Velvet in the dark

Praying this night never ends

[Verse 2]

You laugh too long

At a joke that no one else can hear

Your fingers brush

Past my shoulder

Send me shivers

Disappear

You talk about her

And I swear I try to play it cool

But your eyes won’t move

Every time I walk back in the room (oh)

[Chorus]

Velvet in the dark

That’s what you feel like on my heart

Soft and dangerous

Pulling me apart

We’re hiding in the open

Acting like we’re only friends

Velvet in the dark

Praying this night never ends

[Bridge]

If I were brave

I’d meet you halfway down that hall

Kick off these shoes

Let every secret start to fall

But morning comes

And we go slipping into roles

I taste your name

In every lie I have to hold (yeah)

[Chorus]

Velvet in the dark

That’s what you feel like on my heart

Soft and dangerous

Pulling me apart

We’re hiding in the open

Acting like we’re only friends

Velvet in the dark

Stealing one more reckless touch

Velvet in the dark

Tell me I’m not wanting too much (mm)
