Velvet Static

90New York indie rock

[Verse 1]
Leather boots on cracked white tile
Late train hum and crooked smile
You draw a heart on the window fog
Say you’re fine
Then you change the topic

Soft laugh with your teeth half clenched
Eyes on fire in a crowded bench
You talk big dreams like they’re spare change
Pocket them
Then you walk away

[Chorus]
Velvet static on your tongue
Every word rough
Every touch young
You pull me close just to blur the line
Velvet static in my mind
Velvet static every time

[Verse 2]
Black coat swinging down the hall
Polaroids taped on your wall
Names half cut by the silver tape
You say
“Some things never got their shape”

You light a match just to watch it drown
In a paper cup from the corner lounge
You call me late just to hear the air
Breathing proof that I’m still there

[Chorus]
Velvet static on your tongue
Every word rough
Every touch young
You pull me close just to blur the line
Velvet static in my mind
Velvet static every time
