Velvet & Thunder

I came in through the side door With a pocket full of

rain

You were leaning by the jukebox Like you knew me by my

name

There was whiskey on the counter

And a heartbeat in the floor I don’t remember what you said

I just remember wanting more I’ve been running from the silence

I’ve been sleeping with the lights on But something in the way

you looked at me Made me wanna stay till dawn (ooh,

stay till dawn) I’m velvet and thunder Soft until I break I

can love like a river I can leave like an earthquake Don’t

tell me I’m too much Don’t tell me to come down

I’m velvet and thunder And I’m finally making sound

I wore every expectation

Like a jacket in July

Let everybody tell me Who I was supposed to be But somewhere

in the wreckage I found a little

piece of truth

And it sounded like a woman Who was finally choosing herself Maybe

I’m a little reckless

Maybe I’ve got scars to hide But I’ve spent too many years

Trying to make myself smaller inside

(yeah, yeah)

I’m velvet and thunder

Hear me now I’m velvet and thunder

And I’m not backing down

Don’t tell me I’m too much Don’t tell me to come down

I’m velvet and thunder

And I’m finally making sound

Yeah, I’m finally making sound

Velvet… Thunder… That’s me now.
