[Verse 1]
You came in soft
With a silver grin
At my window latch
Like you lived in skin
Cold hands, warm name
On the paper cup
You said, "stay a while"
Then you never left up
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the moon looks sharp
On your lower lip
And I hear my name
In your fever kiss
You don't need a prayer
You don't need a key
You just tilt your head
And you pull me in
[Chorus]
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Stay through the night
Say my name, say my name
When I turn white
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
[Verse 2]
Black lace sleeve
On the basement stair
You keep old vows
In the heavy air
Count your rings
On a porcelain plate
Every one of them
Says it's getting late
You laugh like sin
In a glassy room
And the whole night folds
Like a dark perfume
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the moon looks sharp
On your lower lip
And I hear my name
In your fever kiss
You don't need a prayer
You don't need a key
You just tilt your head
And you pull me in
[Chorus]
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Stay through the night
Say my name, say my name
When I turn white
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
[Bridge]
If I'm gonna fall
Let me fall for you
If the dawn comes up
Then the dawn comes too
I wore all my fear
Like a chain for days
Now it's on the floor
With the shattered glass
[Final Chorus]
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Stay through the night
Say my name, say my name
When I turn white
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
Bit me slow, bit me slow
Red velvet bite
