Smoke on the velvet spine (versie 2)

Verse

Your eyes catch mine in amber light

Smoke curls slow from your cigarette tight

Faded denim pressed against the floor

Same four steps we've danced before

The strobe cuts blue across your hair

Lost in shadow like you're not there

I'm tracing the edge of your silhouette

Half a smile I want to make into daylight

Pre-Chorus

Hold the smoke where our shoulders meet

Tell me if this is something we repeat

Every breath's a chance to start

Or let it fade into the dark

Chorus

Smoke on the velvet spine

Keep me here, keep me here tonight

Let the bassline find its way

In your eyes till the morning light

Hold the smoke, hold the time

Smoke on the velvet spine

Verse 2

Your hand brushes mine in a crowded room

I count the beats before you're gone from view

Bass drops low where our feet start to move

Every floor's familiar, every smile's new

The lights cut through like a river stone

I'm chasing the edge of what's left unknown

You don't look up when I say your name

But in your eyes the smoke remains

Pre-Chorus

Hold the smoke where our shoulders meet

Tell me if this is something we repeat

Every breath's a chance to start

Or let it fade into the dark

Chorus

Smoke on the velvet spine

Keep me here, keep me here tonight

Let the bassline find its way

In your eyes till the morning light

Hold the smoke, hold the time

Smoke on the velvet spine

Bridge

No words in this neon air

Just the hum of what's left there

One more hour before we leave

One more breath before we breathe

Into daylight, into blue

I'll hold the smoke for you

Chorus

Smoke on the velvet spine

Keep me here, keep me here tonight

Let the bassline find its way

In your eyes till the morning light

Hold the smoke, hold the time

Smoke on the velvet spine
