[Verse 1 – Female] You pour that late-night on my tongue Say my name like it’s undone Got my good sense in your hands You’re the wrong I wanna plan You trace a promise on my skin Every line pulls you deeper in I keep saying I should go But my body’s saying no [Pre-Chorus – Female] I’m not drunk, I’m not high Just addicted to your eyes Every “stop” turns into “stay” Every “no” just melts away [Chorus – Female] It’s a velvet mistake But I’m falling, I’m falling Let the halo break While your hands keep calling We’re a slow crash, baby Kiss me like we’re guilty and we know Velvet mistake I still want you even as I lose control [Verse 2 – Male Rap] Yeah You a habit I can’t kick, little poison on my lip Got me tugging on your hips, slipping further from my grip You the line I shouldn’t cross, but I’m stepping on it bare Every time I get you close, I forget I should be scared You got rules, I got flaws, we got heat behind these doors Got your nails in my back, leaving truth in little scores Tell myself I’ll play it cool, then you breathe against my neck And my logic leaves the room with the buttons that you wreck (uh) [Pre-Chorus – Female + Male ad-libs] I’m not yours, you’re not mine (not mine) Still you fit me like a crime (like a crime) Every “leave” turns into “lay” Every prayer just fades away (yeah) [Chorus – Female + Male] It’s a velvet mistake But I’m falling, I’m falling Let the halo break While your hands keep calling (come closer) We’re a slow crash, baby Kiss me like we’re guilty and we know (we know) Velvet mistake I still want you even as I lose control [Bridge – Female & Male] [Female] You say, “Last time, last time,” while you pull me to the floor I say, “Never, never,” as I’m reaching out for more (oh yeah) If this is how we burn Light the match, let it turn [Male] You’re the rope around my wrists That I begged you just to twist If I’m sinking, it’s in you Tell me you’re falling too (say it) [Chorus – Female + Male] It’s a velvet mistake But I’m falling, I’m falling Let the halo break While your hands keep calling We’re a slow crash, baby Kiss me like we’re guilty and we know Velvet mistake I still want you even as I lose control [Outro – Female] I still want you In the dark where the saints don’t go Velvet mistake And I’ll take it, I’ll take it slow (mmm)
