[Verse 1]
I come home with the rain
On my sleeves and my mouth
Thirty missed calls in my chest
Still I can't slow down
I want your name in my hands
Like a ring I can keep
I want your skin at my door
And your pulse next to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of talking to shadows
Tired of sleeping alone
If you open that door
I won't let go
[Chorus]
Black velvet prayer
Pull me in close
Black velvet prayer
I want you most
Say my name low
Let the hurt fade
Black velvet prayer
Make me stay
[Verse 2]
I've been hungry for weeks
In a room full of smoke
Every laugh in the dark
Just reminds me I'm broke
I don't want pretty lies
I want heat on my tongue
I want your hands to decide
Where I come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of talking to shadows
Tired of sleeping alone
If you open that door
I won't let go
[Chorus]
Black velvet prayer
Pull me in close
Black velvet prayer
I want you most
Say my name low
Let the hurt fade
Black velvet prayer
Make me stay
[Bridge]
If you want me, take me slow
If you need me, don't let me go
Under your breath, under my skin
I was never made to just pretend
[Final Chorus]
Black velvet prayer
Pull me in close
Black velvet prayer
I want you most
Say my name low
Let the hurt fade
Black velvet prayer
Make me stay
Black velvet prayer
Hold me right here
Black velvet prayer
Till I disappear
