Verse 1]
(Music: A soft, pulsing synth and a clean, echoing electric guitar)
I was living in a house of rough-cut stone
Learning how to be happy being alone
Then I saw you standing in the hallway light
And it was Love at First Sight, a quiet kind of bright
No sirens went off, no lightning in the room
Just a sudden change in the way the roses bloom.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Music: The beat picks up—a soft, driving "heartbeat" drum)
And I’m tracing the lines of your silhouette
In a colors I haven't quite mastered yet
It’s a long way down, but I’m ready to fall
I’m leaning my weight against the garden wall.
(One breath)
(Two heartbeats)
[Chorus]
(Music: The sound expands—lush strings and a shimmering pop melody)
Now everything is Velvet, soft and deep
A secret that I’m finally brave enough to keep
Since that First Sight, the edges aren't so blurred
It’s the sweetest song that I have ever heard
Yeah, you’re smooth, you’re rare, you’re a midnight blue
Everything is Velvet when I’m next to you.
[Verse 2]
(Music: A playful acoustic guitar joins the synth)
I used to think that love was a sharp-edged thing
A bitter winter or a bee with a sting
But you’re a fabric I’ve never felt before
Leaving all my armor on the hardwood floor
You don't have to say it, I can read the signs
We’re writing something better between the lines.
[Bridge]
And they say that the bright things always fade to grey
But I’ll wrap myself in you at the end of the day
It’s a texture, it’s a feeling, it’s a permanent state
I’m not looking for an exit, I’m not leaving it to fate!
YEAH, YOU’RE THE LUXURY I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!
THE ONLY MAP THAT I HAVE EVER READED! (Wait—followed!)
[Outro]
(Music: Fades back down to the single pulsing synth)
Just Velvet.
Soft and deep.
Since that First Sight.
(Yeah)
I’m staying right here.
Velvet.
