Velvet Skyline 2 4

Verse

Your smile is a map to where the streets become one

Bare feet on the windowsill, you're tracing the sun

Neon humming in your pocket, half past midnight, we begin

The whole block is holding its breath and you take it as a sign

You pull my waist towards you like this is what's always been

Every star up here is counting down to something real

So I lean into your shadow

I'm already there

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm not thinking of the hours we don't have left

I just want your breath on mine till we find the perfect night

Is this the one they call the final goodbye?

Or is it a doorway to something nobody can deny

We're the only ones standing here, our feet up against the sky

So I ask you if you believe in miracles before we say goodbye

Chorus

Velvet Skyline, take me higher

You turn my doubts into diamond fire

Velvet Skyline, hold on tight

I want tonight to be the one that stays with me until morning light

Verse

The clock tower across town is striking four in a row

Every window full of strangers but you make this whole room glow

Your hand finds mine again like we never lost it at all

We're dancing barefoot on a rooftop where nobody calls home

I think I hear the hum of angels tuning their strings for our name

And every shadow leaning against the rail is singing your praise

You take my hand up to the edge and you say 'look how wide this view can be

And for one second, I believe that we're standing right at the center of everything

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm not thinking of the hours we don't have left

I just want your breath on mine till we find the perfect night

Is this the one they call the final goodbye?

Or is it a doorway to something nobody can deny

We're the only ones standing here, our feet up against the sky

So I ask you if you believe in miracles before we say goodbye

Chorus

Velvet Skyline, take me higher

You turn my doubts into diamond fire

Velvet Skyline, hold on tight

I want tonight to be the one that stays with me until morning light

Bridge

Maybe it's not goodbyes we're learning how to write but hellos in the dark

So I let you whisper something in my ear that I never thought of before

You say 'every star up here is waiting for us' and for once, I believe what you say

And right there with your voice, everything else fades away

Just us against the velvet skyline at four in the morning, holding steady like a prayer that doesn't need an answer

Chorus

Velvet Skyline, take me higher

You turn my doubts into diamond fire

Velvet Skyline, hold on tight

I want tonight to be the one that stays with me until morning light

Outro

Velvet Skyline, never let me go...

Still holding on, I know
