Silk Paradox
Half past two, the city's still awake Cold coffee and a birthday
cake
Your old perfume inside the room And a little bit of déjà
vu
You said you hate the way time flies I said,
"Then let's just waste tonight"
The television's talking low But neither one of us is listening though
And I know, I know
There's nowhere else to be
The world's outside But it's just you and me
Stay until the morning comes We don't have to call it love
Let the hours disappear There's nothing waiting for us here Slow down,
let the feeling breathe
There's a little more beneath
All the things we never say Underneath the velvet after dark Ooh,
don't wake me up Ooh,
this feels like enough
Ah-ah, ah-ah Velvet after dark
There's a taxi waiting down below
But nobody's in a hurry to go
You tell a story I've heard before
I still ask you to tell it once more
The neighbors probably hate this song
We've had it playing all night long
And there's a message on your phone
You turn it over,
leave it alone
And I know,
I know
The night won't stay this way But
right now
I don't wanna look away
Stay until the morning comes
We don't have to call it love
Let the hours disappear
There's nothing waiting for us here
Slow down, let the feeling breathe
There's a little more beneath
All the things we never say Underneath the velvet after dark Ooh,
don't wake me up
Ooh, this feels like enough
Ah-ah,
ah-ah Velvet after dark
Maybe it's the lights
Maybe it's the rain
Maybe it's the way You say my name
Maybe when the sun comes up
We'll go our separate ways But tonight doesn't need A reason to
remain
No plans...
No clocks...
No reason to stop...
Stay until the morning comes
We don't have to call it love
Let the hours disappear
There's nothing waiting for us here
Slow down, let the feeling breathe There's a little more beneath
All the things we never say Underneath the velvet after dark
Ooh, don't wake me up
Ooh, this feels like enough
Ah-ah, ah-ah Velvet after dark
(velvet after dark...) (after dark...)
