Lyric

[Verse 1]

Soft glow on the window

Traffic hums like a low confession

You say my name under your breath

Then let it fade into the ceiling

Lip print on your coffee

Half a smile that you never finish

You reach across the tiny table

Just to straighten my sleeve, then pull back

[Chorus]

Velvet signals in the quiet

Every glance says “stay” then hides it

We’re speaking in the in-between

Every almost-touch, every held-back lean

In the hush between our words

I can feel you, feel you first

Velvet signals under skin

Are we holding back

Or letting this begin?

[Verse 2]

Elevator mirror

You stand close but you watch the numbers

My shoulder grazes your jacket

And the air turns heavy, then lighter

Laugh stuck in your throat

You choke it down like another secret

You brush the hair out of my face

Then talk about the weather, raining

[Chorus]

Velvet signals in the quiet

Every glance says “stay” then hides it

We’re speaking in the in-between

Every almost-touch, every held-back lean

In the hush between our words

I can feel you, feel you first

Velvet signals under skin

Are we holding back

Or letting this begin?

[Bridge]

Say you’re scared to ruin this (Ruin this)

I’m scared of what we’ll miss

If we keep dancing

Around the obvious like this

So breathe my name

Like you mean it tonight

Let the distance

Finally lose this fight

[Chorus]

Velvet signals in the quiet

Every glance says “stay” then hide it

We’re done with the in-between

Let me cross the line you drew so clean

In the hush after our words

You can feel me, feel me first

Velvet signals turning real

Tell me what you want

I’ll tell you what I feel
