[Verse 1]

The neon sign is flickerin’ again

That old Motown tune playin’ way down low

Pourin’ just enough to ease the tension

But the buzz ain't quite enough to let you go

You walk in wearin’ that vintage coat

Lookin’ like a dream I can’t quite place

Got that look that makes me lose my focus

Draggin’ me back into the race

[Chorus]

Ooh, it’s a slow burn, baby, don’t you rush the heat

Heartbeat syncopated, knockin’ out the beat

We’re dancin’ in the dark, yeah, caught in between

The sweetest agony I’ve ever seen

Don’t say you’re leavin’, don’t say you’re stayin’

Just keep this vinyl spinnin’ in the grey

It’s a dirty shame, this velvet static

Holdin’ me hostage, can’t look away

[Verse 2]

Your silhouette against the strobe light

Movin’ like a melody stuck in my head

One step closer, then you slip outta sight

Leavin’ me tangled up in what you said

Is it love or just a chemical reaction?

Ain't no logic when the bassline drops

Caught in this magnetic attraction

Sippin’ from the same glass, takin’ turns on the lip

[Chorus]

Ooh, it’s a slow burn, baby, don’t you rush the heat

Heartbeat syncopated, knockin’ out the beat

We’re dancin’ in the dark, yeah, caught in between

The sweetest agony I’ve ever seen

Don’t say you’re leavin’, don’t say you’re stayin’

Just keep this vinyl spinnin’ in the grey

It’s a dirty shame, this velvet static

Holdin’ me hostage, can’t look away

[Bridge]

Turn the lights down low, let the shadows play

We don't need the truth, just the rhythm of the sway

Is it real or just a phantom touch?

I don't care, I need you just as much

Caught in the hum of the electric night

You're the signal and the interference, holdin’ on tight

[Outro]

Just the hum of the amp and the fading glow

Velvet static... yeah, I let it go...

...Or do I?
