Velvet Gravity

[Intro] Soft rain on the window, a slow, patient hush I keep your name like a secret in my mouth Breathing you in, the night learns our touch And every heartbeat says what words can't vow [Verse 1] Your shadow waits by the door of my chest I memorize the shadow-edges of your skin If longing were a cable, I’d pull you to rest Right here, where I begin, and my fear slips in [Chorus] Hold me close till dawn forgets to rise Let our silence speak the truth we hide In your arms, the world fades to soft, bright light Love’s a fire that won’t let me go tonight [Verse 2] I hear your breath across the quiet room A whispered promise riding the sigh between us I’m naked in devotion, stripped of every mask and tomb I choose you again, inked in trust and us [Pre-Chorus] If I could offer you my every storm and calm Would you keep me when the thunder calls my name? [Chorus] Hold me close till dawn forgets to rise Let our silence speak the truth we hide In your arms, the world fades to soft, bright light Love’s a fire that won’t let me go tonight [Bridge] Between your heartbeat and mine, there’s a language learned by scars We heal in the hush of breath shared under the same stars Transform me with your touch, redefine what I am If love is a shore, I’m anchoring here, where I began [Chorus] Hold me close till dawn forgets to rise Let our silence speak the truth we hide In your arms, the world fades to soft, bright light Love’s a fire that won’t let me go tonight [Outro] Stay with me in this velvet gravity, stay Until the morning writes our names in gold on the day Stay, stay, stay
