Velvet Daydream

Verse 1

You wore midnight like a perfume

Soft smoke curling through the room

Every glance a little danger

Every touch a little doom

I was gold dust in your pocket

You were trouble dressed in grace

Like a record spinning backwards

Still I memorized your face

Pre-Chorus

You pulled me in slow

Like a secret in candlelight

I should have let go

But I wanted that beautiful lie

Chorus

You were my velvet daydream

My all-night sacrament

A worn-out little heartache

Dressed up heaven-sent

You kissed me like a memory

I’d never get to keep

My velvet daydream

Still dancing in my sleep

Verse 2

Every room became a movie

Every silence had a glow

We were saints with dirty halos

In a city built for show

I could hear the ending coming

In the trembling of your breath

But I leaned into the thunder

Like a fool in love with death

Pre-Chorus

You pulled me in slow

Like a secret in candlelight

I should have let go

But I wanted that beautiful lie

Chorus

You were my velvet daydream

My all-night sacrament

A worn-out little heartache

Dressed up heaven-sent

You kissed me like a memory

I’d never get to keep

My velvet daydream

Still dancing in my sleep

Bridge

Now the perfume’s on the curtains

And your shadow’s in the hall

I still hear your old devotion

Like it never left at all

Was it love or just a ritual

Something pretty made to pass

Either way I let you hold me

Like a rose inside the glass

Final Chorus

You were my velvet daydream

My all-night sacrament

A beautiful illusion

Too cruel to call regret

You kissed me like a memory

That lingers bittersweet

My velvet daydream

Still dancing in my sleep

Outro

You fade out with the morning

But never disappear

Just a velvet daydream

Whispering in my ear
