Low lights, skyline breathing slow
Your shadow where the neon glows
You say nothing… still I know
This night is somewhere we shouldn’t go
⸻
[Verse 1]
Rain writes secrets on the glass tonight
Your reflection caught in cobalt light
You lean back like the world’s your throne
Like temptation carved in monochrome
You don’t reach, you don’t need the chase
Just one glance and I feel the space
Between who I am and who I’d be
If I let your silence ruin me
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You speak soft but the meaning’s loud
Like thunder hiding in a cloud
Every rule I ever made
Feels like paper in your shade
⸻
[Chorus]
Velvet after dark, we move in quiet sin
Your eyes say everything your lips won’t let begin
City breathing slow beneath the skyline spark
Every saint gets dangerous in velvet after dark
Your voice drips silver in the midnight air
One word from you and I’d go anywhere
The moon don’t judge the hearts it leaves its mark
Every vow gets reckless in velvet after dark
⸻
[Verse 2]
Your accent curling through the room
Like smoke that writes its own perfume
Every syllable you drop
Feels like gravity won’t stop
I look composed in ivory lace
But sin is dancing in my veins
You watch me like you understand
How close I am to breaking plans
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t push, you let me fall
Like you knew it all along
Every breath you slowly take
Pulls the thread I shouldn’t break
⸻
[Chorus]
Velvet after dark, we move in quiet sin
Your eyes say everything your lips won’t let begin
City breathing slow beneath the skyline spark
Every saint gets dangerous in velvet after dark
Your voice drips silver in the midnight air
One word from you and I’d go anywhere
The moon don’t judge the hearts it leaves its mark
Every vow gets reckless in velvet after dark
⸻
[Bridge]
Say the word… I might forget my name
Say the word… and nothing stays the same
Your shadow crosses over mine
And suddenly the line’s not mine
You smile slow like you already won
Like the night’s just barely begun
And every promise I once kept
Is trembling on the edge you stepped
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Velvet after dark, the city holds its breath
Your gaze a quiet promise dancing close to death
Every rule dissolving in your quiet spark
Every heart gets fearless in velvet after dark
Velvet after dark… I feel the danger start
One step closer and you’re writing on my heart
The moon is watching but it plays its part
Turning saints to sinners in velvet after dark
⸻
[Outro]
Rain still falling on the glass tonight
Your shadow fading from the light
We didn’t cross the line… not yet
But I can feel the silhouette
Of everything we’ll be
When the night forgets to stop.
