[Verse 1]
You said my name
Like you’d been waiting
Pulled me in
Through the smoke and light
Red wine lips
And your hand still shaking
You swore you’d never
Felt this right
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know the rush I hide
When I see your open side
Every word you speak
I taste
Not a second here to waste
[Chorus]
I’m your black widow lover
Pull you closer
Pull you under
Wrap you up in velvet truth
Kiss the fear right out of you
Black widow lover
Say you want me
Say it slower
One more promise
One more sin
You won’t see it ‘til you’re in
[Verse 2]
Cab ride home
And I trace your heartbeat
Count the turns
While you watch the view
Key in the door
And you call it perfect
You pour the drinks
I’m pouring through you
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t see the careful lines
Where I’ve laid out all the signs
Candles where the shadows cling
You walk straight into the sting
[Chorus]
I’m your black widow lover
Pull you closer
Pull you under
Wrap you up in velvet truth
Kiss the fear right out of you
Black widow lover
Say you want me
Say it slower
One more promise
One more sin
You won’t see it ‘til you’re in
[Bridge]
You asked about my past lives
I laughed and changed the subject (oh)
Names that never made sunrise
Faces fading in the smoke
You’re tracing scars on my shoulder
Like a map you want to know
You say
“Baby
What’s it from?”
I say
“Let it go”
[Verse 3]
Gloves in the drawer
And the tape in the bathroom
Music up loud
While you pour more wine
You hum along
To a sweet old love tune
I check the time
You read all my signs
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t hear the ticking beat
Underneath your easy speech
Every touch you think is kind
Marks you one more step behind
[Chorus]
I’m your black widow lover
Pull you closer
Pull you under
Wrap you up in velvet truth
Kiss the fear right out of you
Black widow lover
Say you want me
Say it slower
One more promise
One last sin
This is where your story thins
[Outro]
Black widow lover (breathe you in)
Black widow lover (shed my skin)
Say you’ll stay forevermore
As I lock the final door
