[Verse 1]
I wear my heart like glass
In a cracked black frame
I pick the velvet dress
Just to speak your name
I left a seat for two
By the window pane
Your hand was almost mine
Then the night held still
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the door unlatched
For your midnight step
Keep hearing footstep shadows
Where no one’s been yet
I taste the almost of you
On the back of my tongue
Like a vow in the dark
That never comes
[Chorus]
Black lace dream, come closer
Black lace dream, stay near
I keep falling for you
But you never appear
Black lace dream, black lace dream
I swear you know my name
I keep reaching in the dark
And wake up in the same
[Verse 2]
My phone glows cold and blue
On the edge of sleep
I rehearse your cruelest kiss
Like a song on repeat
The mirror learns my face
Under moonlit sheets
I look like someone waiting
For a sin to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the door unlatched
For your midnight step
Keep hearing footstep shadows
Where no one’s been yet
I taste the almost of you
On the back of my tongue
Like a vow in the dark
That never comes
[Chorus]
Black lace dream, come closer
Black lace dream, stay near
I keep falling for you
But you never appear
Black lace dream, black lace dream
I swear you know my name
I keep reaching in the dark
And wake up in the same
[Bridge]
Maybe I made you
From the part of me that aches
All that wanting, all that hunger
All those pretty little mistakes
If you ever touch my heart
Let it be for real
I’m tired of the almost
I’m tired of the seal
[Final Chorus]
Black lace dream, come closer
Black lace dream, stay near
I keep falling for you
But you never appear
Black lace dream, black lace dream
I swear you know my name
I keep reaching in the dark
And wake up in the same
Black lace dream, come closer
Black lace dream, stay near
I keep falling for you
But you never appear
