Velvet and Dust

Verse 1

Silver ring

Sliding off the bathroom sink

Cold porcelain

I am waiting for the water to warm

Still

Quiet

Heavy hands hold a heavy head

I thought we had a bargain

I thought we had a deal

Chorus

Don't let the velvet turn to dust

Oh honey

Don't let the gold begin to rust

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Verse 2

Burnt toast

Bitter black coffee in a chipped cup

Sunrise

Hurts my eyes

Waking up is the hardest part

You left

You lied

You lost

Empty side of the mattress

Cold

Bitter

Staring at the ceiling fan spin

Round and round until I get dizzy

Chorus

Don't let the velvet turn to dust

Oh honey

Don't let the gold begin to rust

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Bridge

Maybe it's the season

Maybe it's the rain

Maybe it's the reason

I'm calling out your name

Sweet name

Your name

Same name

Chorus

Don't let the velvet turn to dust

Oh honey

Don't let the gold begin to rust

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Don't let it go

Outro

Keep it close

Keep it close

Stay

Wait

Don't go

Not yet
