Velvet Back Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You slid in through the side door With rain on your collar One look from the booth seat And I knew you meant trouble Your name on my glass rim Like a mark I can't wash off The band kept on circling While the room lost its balance [Pre-Chorus] Keep it low, keep it slow Let the curtain stay still One more step, one more breath And the whole place will feel [Chorus] Velvet back room Meet me there Velvet back room Under the stare One secret spark And we disappear Velvet back room Stay right here [Verse 2] Your hand on the sugar bowl Mine tracing the saucer We spoke in half sentences And laughed like we had nowhere A waiter looked past us Like he knew but would never The clock on the wall turned Then forgot how to matter [Pre-Chorus] Keep it low, keep it slow Let the curtain stay still One more step, one more breath And the whole place will feel [Chorus] Velvet back room Meet me there Velvet back room Under the stare One secret spark And we disappear Velvet back room Stay right here [Bridge] If they ask where I went I was nowhere at all Just a name in the dark And your hand on the wall [Chorus] Velvet back room Meet me there Velvet back room Under the stare One secret spark And we disappear Velvet back room Stay right here
