[Intro]
Red lights
Wrong floor
Password
Say more
[Verse 1]
Strobe on my face like a mugshot flash
Wristband peeling, I still walk past
Line out the block for a glitch in the night
I’m the bad idea that you swipe right
Code in the smoke, little text on the wall
“Scan if you’re ready to lose it all”
You say, “Slow down”
I laugh, “Can’t”
Whole room tilts
Like a slant
[Chorus]
Velvet error code, we break, reload
Crash this club like a haunted node
If it feels too much, that means it’s right
If your heart goes red, then press retry
Velvet error code, we glitch, explode
Wrong password, but we still get in
If we burn too bright, then let it spin
Velvet error code, begin, begin (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Mascara rivers on a stranger’s cheek
We just met once, but we still don’t speak
Bass in your chest like a bad idea
You mouth my name, I can’t quite hear
Drink in the air, and it rains back down
I kiss your fears, you bite my crown
Turn my doubts to a whispered dare
“You’re not scared”
“I’m scared”
[Chorus]
Velvet error code, we break, reload
Crash this club like a haunted node
If it feels too much, that means it’s right
If your heart goes red, then press retry
Velvet error code, we glitch, explode
Wrong password, but we still get in
If we burn too bright, then let it spin
Velvet error code, begin, begin (oh)
[Bridge]
Hands up
Palms bare
What if we never
Get out of here
What if this loop
Is all we own
You grab my shirt
Say “Take me home”
“Here is home”
I grin
[Drop hits, tempo surges]
[Chorus]
Velvet error code, we break, reload
Crash this club like a haunted node
If it feels too much, that means it’s right
If your heart goes red, then press retry
Velvet error code, we glitch, explode
Wrong password, but we still get in
If we burn too bright, then let it spin
Velvet error code, begin, begin (begin, begin)
