Velvet Tango
About this song

What Velvet Tango is about

Crimson lights, marble floors and a dance that turns into a seduction. Every turn is "a sweet mistake", and there's no tomorrow beyond the velvet tango.

Velvet Tango lyrics

Crimson lights on marble floors
Perfume drifting through the doors
You don’t ask, you take my hand
Like this night was always planned

Soft chaos in every glance
Pull me deeper into dance
No escape in what we start
You move straight into my heart

No space, no air, just you and me
Every step feels like gravity

Velvet tango, hold me tight
Spin me slowly through the night
Every heartbeat out of line
Every touch like stolen wine
Velvet tango, don’t let go
Take me where I shouldn’t go
No goodbye, no afterglow
Just this velvet tango

Silver smoke and quiet heat
Your rhythm pulling at my feet
Every turn a sweet mistake
Every breath is yours to take

Silhouettes in black and gold
Stories that we never told
In your arms I lose control
Like you’re reading through my soul

No rules left, no need to hide
Just the darkness and the tide

Velvet tango, hold me tight
Spin me slowly through the night
Every heartbeat out of line
Every touch like stolen wine
Velvet tango, don’t let go
Take me where I shouldn’t go
No goodbye, no afterglow
Just this velvet tango

Step, pause
Turn me closer
Feel the silence take us over
One breath, one flame
Say my name without my name

If we fall, we fall in time
Every step a perfect crime

Velvet tango, hold me tight
Burn me slowly in the night
Every heartbeat out of line
Every touch like sacred wine
Velvet tango, don’t let go
Take me where I’ll never know
No tomorrow, no control
Just this velvet tango

Stay
One more dance
Velvet tango
