[Verse 1] Velvet tension on your mouth Like a match held in your teeth You pull me slow, then let me go Leave the ache beneath the seams Your hands are cuffs of satin heat My name stays pressed in your palm I taste the spark before it lands And I go quiet and calm [Pre-Chorus] Pull me close Then pull me tighter Say my name Like a flicked lighter I'm a wire In your garden One small touch And I start burning [Chorus] Velvet tension, hold me now (velvet tension) Velvet tension, pull me down (velvet tension) Soft like silk, sharp like need You know just where to leave me Velvet tension, don't let go (velvet tension) Velvet tension, let it show (velvet tension) [Verse 2] You trace a line along my spine Like you're writing my confession My heartbeat knocks against the door Begging for a little pressure I like the bruise of your attention The sweet sting of your stare You lace the dark around my waist And I don't even care [Pre-Chorus] Pull me close Then pull me tighter Say my name Like a flicked lighter I'm a wire In your garden One small touch And I start burning [Chorus] Velvet tension, hold me now (velvet tension) Velvet tension, pull me down (velvet tension) Soft like silk, sharp like need You know just where to leave me Velvet tension, don't let go (velvet tension) Velvet tension, let it show (velvet tension) [Bridge] Let the room go still Let the walls lean in I want that dangerous calm That starts where you begin No escape in sight Just the hush before the break If you call me once more I will come awake [Chorus] Velvet tension, hold me now (velvet tension) Velvet tension, pull me down (velvet tension) Soft like silk, sharp like need You know just where to leave me Velvet tension, don't let go (velvet tension) Velvet tension, let it show (velvet tension)
