Velvet Lights cover art

Paroles

[Intro]
Slide in
Late night
Loose grin
Too bright (hey!)

[Verse 1]
Gold chain swinging on my thrift-store tee
Fresh white sneakers but they far from clean
Text from you say, "Where you at? Come thru"
I’m five blocks out and I’m high on you
Lip gloss cherry, got it on my cheek
You laugh so hard that you start to wheeze
We don't got much but we spend our youth
On bad ideas that still feel like truth

[Chorus]
Velvet lights on your face when you dance like that
You pull me in then you push me back
You talk your talk, I spin off track
But I always, always
Run right back to your velvet lights
Velvet lights, velvet lights
Every dumb fight, every late-night taxicab ride
I still choose your velvet lights

[Verse 2]
Take my fries, say you "only want one"
Now the plate empty, that’s a hit-and-run
You DJ mad from your cracked-up phone
Skip three songs when you hate the tone
You steal my hoodie, call it "compensation"
For all my habits and procrastination
We make up quick in the corner booth
You kiss my jaw, I forget the truth (yeah)

[Chorus]
Velvet lights on your face when you dance like that
You pull me in then you push me back
You talk your talk, I spin off track
But I always, always
Run right back to your velvet lights
Velvet lights, velvet lights
Every dumb fight, every late-night taxicab ride
I still choose your velvet lights

[Bridge]
Tell me why we so messy but we feel so right
Why your name in my phone glow brighter than the sky
Every red flag look soft in this soft blue light
If it’s wrong, then I’m wrong
Till the end of the night (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Velvet lights on your face when you dance like that
You pull me in then you push me back
You talk your talk, I spin off track
But I always, always
Run right back to your velvet lights
Velvet lights, velvet lights
Every dumb fight, every late-night taxicab ride
I still choose your velvet lights
