Velvet Fire

[Verse 1]
You pour red wine
On a Tuesday night
Bare feet tracing
Shadows in low light
Soft laugh catching
On your bitten lip
You say, “You choose,”
But you’re moving my fingertips
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet fire
Slow and sure
Every little touch
Makes me need you more
You lean in close
Say my name like a prayer
Velvet fire
I’m burning, but I don’t care
[Verse 2]
Record spinning
Dust in the air
Your head finds
Its home on my chair
One stray curl
Falls across your face
I tuck it back
You pull me into that space
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet fire
Slow and sure
Every little touch
Makes me need you more
You trace my throat
Like a whispered dare
Velvet fire
I’m burning, but I don’t care
[Bridge]
All your secrets
Bloom in the silence
Every sigh
A kind of science (oh)
You say, “Stay”
Like it’s understood
Like the night
Was carved for us in wood
[Chorus]
You’re a velvet fire
Slow and sure
Every little touch
Makes me need you more
You steal my breath
Leave your heat in the air
Velvet fire
I’m burning, but I don’t care (oh)
Velvet fire
I’m burning, but I don’t care

Male vocals glide over suspended chords; verses stay intimate and close-mic, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and tasteful runs. Saxophone weaves soft call-and-response phrases, organ pads bloom on the bridge for a warm, candlelit climax before a hushed, lingering outro., r&b, sophisticated
