Burning the Velvet (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Gold light on your collarbone, five in the morning glow

The barman's calling last orders, you don't want to go

You said stay a little longer, hold my coat with two hands

I never asked for nothing, I just understood where we stand

The speaker hums low bass under the empty chairs

Nobody leaving tonight, nobody has anywhere

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you back? What's keeping us here?

Is it something I did or something you want to say?

Maybe the night don't end like it ends every day

Chorus

Burning slow on the velvet floor, feet too heavy for the door

Nobody wants this to end, we just move in the glow, glow, burn, glow, burn

Hold my hand through the amber haze, stay right here, stay right here tonight

Burning the velvet down till morning light

Verse 2

Your thumb tracing patterns on my wrist like it's a map you know by heart

I ask you again about tomorrow and you shrug it off like it don't matter at all

The ice in your glass has melted to nothing but water now

You reach for mine, I let go of the chair, we both fall into this somehow

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you back? What's keeping us here?

Is it something I did or something you want to say?

Maybe the night don't end like it ends every day

Chorus

Burning slow on the velvet floor, feet too heavy for the door

Nobody wants this to end, we just move in the glow, glow, burn, glow, burn

Hold my hand through the amber haze, stay right here, stay right here tonight

Burning the velvet down till morning light

Bridge

Maybe it's not about leaving at all, maybe this is home, this is real

I don't need a forever to know that I feel

Your heartbeat matches mine like we were meant for this heat

So no clock on the wall, no countdown tonight

Let the night burn slow till it burns right

Chorus

Burning slow on the velvet floor, feet too heavy for the door

Nobody wants this to end, we just move in the glow, glow, burn, glow, burn

Hold my hand through the amber haze, stay right here, stay right here tonight

Burning the velvet down till morning light
