Lyrics:
Verse 1
You walked in like a flickerin’ film reel,
Diner booth dreams, a jukebox heart on wheels.
Neon light spills on your cherry-red smile,
A 45 spinning, slow-dialin’ your style.
I was a ghost in a monochrome town,
‘Til your laugh cut through, turned the world upside-down.
Your voice, a cracklin’ radio, sweet as June,
Static and sugar, hummin’ a tune.
Pre-Chorus
Ooh, thunder in my veins,
You rewound the clock, made it rain.
Every “what if” fades when you say my name,
Now the needle’s stuck on your heartbeat’s refrain…
Chorus
Velvet shadows, dancin’ in your glow,
You’re the black-and-white I never let go.
Fate’s a old film, torn at the seams,
But you stitch the cracks in my sepia dreams.
Velvet shadows, hold me close, don’t stop—
You turned my gray skies into gold at the drop…
Verse 2
We slow-dance in parking lot streetlight,
Your hand on my waist, like the moon holds the night.
You hum a love song from a vintage radio,
Static turns to sparks, and suddenly I know—
I’m a fool for the way your whispers sway,
Like a vinyl scratch in the best kinda way.
You’re the ink on my skin, a timeless tattoo,
A love letter signed in midnight blue.
Pre-Chorus
Ooh, lightning in your eyes,
You rewrote the end, no goodbyes.
Every “never” melts when our worlds collide,
Now the reel keeps rollin’ with you by my side…
Chorus
Velvet shadows, dancin’ in your glow,
You’re the black-and-white I never let go.
Fate’s a old film, torn at the seams,
But you stitch the cracks in my sepia dreams.
Velvet shadows, hold me close, don’t stop—
You turned my gray skies into gold at the drop…
Bridge
We’re a scratched-up record, playin’ on repeat,
A love story even time can’t delete.
In a world that’s rushin’, we’re a Polaroid slow,
Forever caught in the flash, baby, don’t let go…
Outro
(Fading, harmonized hums)
Velvet shadows…
Mmm, la-la-la…
In your glow…
