Velvet in the Smoke

[Verse 1]

Ashtray halo on the nightstand

Lipstick ghost on my glass

You left your coat on the doorframe

Like you’d be right back

Right back

[Chorus]

You’re velvet in the smoke

I reach

And then you fade

I breathe you in

You vanish

Like a song that never played

You’re velvet in the smoke

In my lungs

In my mind

I lose you every second

Just to find you one more time (one more time)

[Verse 2]

Hammock heart in a heatwave

Ceiling fan slow

Slow spin

Your name hangs soft in the doorway

I swear I see you walk in

[Chorus]

You’re velvet in the smoke

I reach

And then you fade

I breathe you in

You vanish

Like a song that never played

You’re velvet in the smoke

In my lungs

In my mind

I lose you every second

Just to find you one more time (yeah, one more time)

[Bridge]

All these colors in the dark

Paint your shadow on my wall

If I close my eyes and call

Will you answer

Will you fall?

[Chorus]

You’re velvet in the smoke

I reach

And then you fade

I breathe you in

You vanish

Like a song that never played

You’re velvet in the smoke

In my lungs

In my mind

I lose you every second

Just to find you one more time (one more time)

Just to find you one more time (one more time)
