[Verse 1]
Gloves to my elbows
Lace at my throat
You watch from the doorway
Eyes on my exposed
Porcelain collar
Fan hiding my smile
Your name on my tongue
Has lingered a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Every rule in this room
Trembles when you step close
Every stitch of my dress
Knows what your hands propose
[Chorus]
Velvet in the drawing room
I’m burning under every bloom
Say my name and break decorum
Ruin me in perfect form
Sip me slow like stolen wine
Leave your fingerprints on my spine
If desire is a crime
Then take me
Take me in the candlelight
[Verse 2]
Tea going cold now
Pages unread
You bow like a gentleman
Sin in your head
Your breath at my ear
Makes my manners slip
A scandalous prayer
Pressed to my lip
[Pre-Chorus]
Every vow on the wall
Wilts when your fingers trace
Every saint in the frame
Turns from my heated face
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Close the curtains
Let the gossip guess
Let the ton pretend
They’ve never craved like this
[crescendo] Pin my heartbeat
To your hungry gaze
I was taught to wait
You were born to disobey
[Chorus]
