Velvet Hours

[Verse 1]
City’s asleep, but your skin’s wide awake,
Silk on the sheets, every move that you make.
I trace the quiet, no rush in the dark,
Just the hush of your breathing lighting sparks.
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to speak, let the silence confess,
Fingertips writing what words can’t express.
[Chorus]
Velvet hours, we’re tangled in slow,
Velvet hours, nowhere to go.
Your name on my lips like a secret I keep,
We’re falling, no falling, just deep.
Velvet hours, the world disappears,
Only the heat of you here.
[Verse 2]
Midnight cologne, taste of wine on your neck,
Every exhale a promise I haven’t cashed yet.
Shadows play tricks, but your eyes never lie,
Pull me in closer, no reason, just why.
[Pre-Chorus]
Clock on the wall forgot how to move,
We’re rewriting the rules in this groove.
[Chorus]
Velvet hours, we’re tangled in slow,
Velvet hours, nowhere to go.
Your name on my lips like a secret I keep,
We’re falling, no falling, just deep.
Velvet hours, the world disappears,
Only the heat of you here.
[Bridge – whispered, half-spoken]
Stay…
Let the dawn wait outside,
I’m not done memorizing the way you sigh.
Stay…
We can blur every line,
Till the sun comes to steal you from mine.
[Final Chorus – stripped, then swelling]
Velvet hours (softer), we’re tangled in slow,
Velvet hours (louder), don’t ever let go.
Your name on my lips like a prayer in the haze,
We’re endless, no ending, just phase.
Velvet hours, the world disappears…
(ad-lib: “stay right here…”)
