Velvet Key

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left one glove beside the payphone A silver thread caught in the seam I read the room, I knew the signal One matchbook tucked beneath the cream [Pre-Chorus] No names tonight, no questions asked Just take the side door past the glass [Chorus] Meet me where the blue awning bends Behind the kitchen, after ten Your perfume on the borrowed coat My pulse too loud beneath my throat If anyone asks, we never came Two strangers sleeping under one name [Verse 2] The waiter knows to clear the corner The clock has lost its little hand You trace a circle on the table I let you lead me where you planned [Pre-Chorus] No photographs, no promises Just your warm breath against my wrist [Chorus] Meet me where the blue awning bends Behind the kitchen, after ten Your perfume on the borrowed coat My pulse too loud beneath my throat If anyone asks, we never came Two strangers sleeping under one name [Bridge] When morning lifts the iron blinds Leave through the hall and don't look back I'll keep the matchbook, keep the secret Keep every word we didn't have [Final Chorus] Meet me where the blue awning bends Before the last train starts again Your hand still warm inside my sleeve A little lie I want to believe If anyone asks, we never came Two strangers burning under one name [Outro] No names tonight No names tonight
