[Verse 1]
You said my name
Like it cut your tongue
Eyes sharp
But your hands stayed young
War paint
On your pretty face
We circle close
Like a holy chase
You pull my sleeve
Say “don’t get close”
But your pulse runs wild
Through your winter coat
Hate tastes sweet
When it’s on your lips
Every threat you throw
Is a tilted wish
[Chorus]
We were velvet knives
Pressed to each other’s throats
Every word a wound
Every glance a ghost
Now you’re pulling me in
Like I’m tied to your storm
Enemy
Enemy
Turning into your warmth
(ah-ah)
Enemy
Enemy
Burning into your warmth
[Verse 2]
Dark hall
And the lights go red
Your breath
Spills secrets you never said
“I swore
I’d never fall like this”
But your promise cracks
When our shadows kiss
You draw your line
On my collarbone
Say “last time”
But you won’t let go
Your hate shakes
Right through your hands
Tell me
Is this war
Or a slow slow dance?
[Chorus]
We were velvet knives
Pressed to each other’s throats
Every word a wound
Every glance a ghost
Now you’re pulling me in
Like I’m tied to your storm
Enemy
Enemy
Turning into your warmth
(yeah)
Enemy
Enemy
Burning into your warmth
[Bridge]
All those curses
Under your breath
Turned to my name
Soft as a prayer
If this is losing
I’ll lose again
Cut me open
I’ll let you in (ooh)
[Chorus]
We were velvet knives
Pressed to each other’s throats
Every word a wound
Every glance a ghost
Now you’re writing your love
Where the bruises were born
Enemy
Enemy
Turning into your warmth
(so warm)
Enemy
Enemy
I’m yours in the storm
