Velvet Drive

Late night sugar on my tongue

You come back like summer gum Window down and the road runs

gold Your name turns the air to old film

I taste the rain from another year Peach light falling on the

dashboard still

We were young in a slow heartbeat Laughing hard

with nowhere to be

Now every mile keeps bringing me Back to the spark you left

in me

I know it by the way the night leans in Sweet like

a memory under my skin One more turn and I feel it

start

Hands on the wheel and a rush in my heart You make

it creamy sweet, dreamy slow Like a favorite song from forever ago

Round and round where the warm winds blow

I don't wanna wake up,

don't let it go

Creamy sweet, dreamy slow Got my whole heart moving with the stereo

Every little memory starts to glow

I don't wanna wake up,

don't let it go Lip gloss moon on the rearview frame You

said my quiet like it had a flame We drew our plans

in the fogged up glass Watched every red light turn and pass

Now the seats hold the shape of us And the beat keeps

pulling up that dust I let the old days ride shotgun Till

the city edge and the dawn come

If I reach back,

you're right there Soft as the heat in midnight air

No, I never lost that taste Love like honey that time can't

waste You make it creamy sweet,

dreamy slow Like a favorite song from forever ago

Round and round where the warm winds blow I don't wanna wake

up, don't let it go Creamy sweet,

dreamy slow Got my whole heart moving with the stereo

Every little memory starts to glow

I don't wanna wake up,

don't let it go

Creamy sweet,

dreamy slow

Don't let it go
