0043 Velvet Scratch Sessions

(ooh) Mm, slow turning room (ahhh)

I let the room breathe before I say your name Dust on

the needle, but the feeling stays clean Low lamp on the table,

little gold in the grain I move with the backbeat,

easy and unseen

You lean in close like a question half-asked I answer in a

tone that barely breaks the air No rush in the frame,

no need to make it last

Just let the pocket hold us there Take your time,

don't force the line

Let it swing where the light falls in

We can ride that little space Till the night turns warm on

skin

Stay in the groove with me

Soft as the smoke in a midnight blue scene

Stay in the groove with me Close enough to feel what the

silence means

Stay in the groove with me

Round and slow where the heart stays clean

Stay in the groove with me

You and I in the space between

I trace little circles on the edge of the glass You laugh

through your shoulders, keep it low,

keep it cool The band hits a turn and the moment goes

past Still we bend with the rhythm like a private rule I

know that look, half fire and half ease A kind of calm

that can pull me under

Every bar gives a little more room to breathe Every word lands

soft with thunder Hold that note in your teeth Let it shine,

let it leave If we fall,

let it be Slow and sweet,

into me

Stay in the groove with me

Soft as the smoke in a midnight blue scene Stay in the

groove with me

Close enough to feel what the silence means

Stay in the groove with me

Round and slow where the heart stays clean

Stay in the groove with me

You and I in the space between

Stay in the groove Stay with me (ooh)

Mm
