Velvet Eyes

Velvet Eyes Verse 1 City lights in silent motion Glass reflections, chrome and heat No one talking, no one moving But the air between our feet You lean back against the doorway Half a smile you never hide Every second stretches longer With that velvet in your eyes Pre-Chorus No rush No need We both know what this means Chorus Velvet eyes Hold the night Like a secret dressed in light Slow and cool Sharp and wise Nothing louder than your eyes Velvet eyes Don’t pretend They begin where words would end No disguise No surprise Everything is in your eyes Verse 2 Neon flickers on your shadow Soft electric on your skin You don’t move but something pulls me Like I’m already stepping in There’s a quiet kind of tension Not a spark that burns too fast It’s the kind that keeps on breathing Long after the moment passed Pre-Chorus No rush No fear We’ve already met right here Chorus Velvet eyes Hold the night Like a secret dressed in light Slow and cool Sharp and wise Nothing louder than your eyes Velvet eyes Don’t pretend They begin where words would end No disguise No surprise Everything is in your eyes Final Chorus Velvet eyes Take their time Turn the dark to something kind Slow and cool Sharp and wise Nothing louder than your eyes
