HOLLY WILLIAMS LYRICS - Velvet Sounds

"Velvet Sounds"



Velvet sounds you made

Sleeping symphony as I would lie awake

In the crevice of your shoulder soft and warm

That's where I miss your breathing



Black and pink and white

These are colors that remind me of the night

We fell on your steps and wished for all our lives

To be filled with such freedom



Picture perfect place

Painting shadows on the canvas of your face

Graceful rhythms in the frantic love we made

Moving underneath moonlight



Now looking at my mirror

The one you gave to me from the shop across the street

Where everything is rare

Just like your blue eyes

Just like your sad goodbyes

Just like the heartfelt letter that your mother mailed to you

Everything made me cry



So, here they come again

Haunting memories of you, they always win

Begging for a place to come alive again

I swear I will not hurt you again



Velvet sounds you made

Sleeping symphony as I would lie awake

In the crevice of your shoulder soft and warm

That's where I miss your breathing
