Lyrics

Oh-oh
Velvet echo
Oh-oh
Call me home

I was falling through the silence, through the blue
Like a secret that the city never knew
Then you touched the air around me, changed the sound
Now my broken edges float above the ground

Windows trembling in the midnight glow
Every faded part of me begins to show
You don't pull me under, you pull me through
Like a light I only recognize in you

Every little wave pulls me closer in
Every little breath feels like starting again
No fear in the tremble, no doubt in the glow
Where you end and I begin, I don't know

You come back like a velvet echo
Soft enough to save me, strong enough to let go
Right where the night and the heartbeats flow
You come back, you come back like a velvet echo

Oh-oh, velvet echo
Oh-oh, let it unfold
Oh-oh, velvet echo
I feel you in the cold

I keep hearing your reflection in the rain
Like a melody that moves inside my veins
When the room goes dark, your color still remains
Turning all the hurt into a brighter shape

Every shadow softens when you say my name
Even all the empty spaces start to change
You arrive like dawn through the broken glass
And for one more moment, all the ghosts can pass

Every little ache turns to silver light
Every little scar starts to feel alright
No fear in the falling, no edge in the glow
If I lose my balance, you're the undertow

You come back like a velvet echo
Soft enough to save me, strong enough to let go
Right where the night and the heartbeats flow
You come back, you come back like a velvet echo

When the lights go low and the whole room fades
I can hear your pulse through the afterwave
No distance left in the undertone
Just your voice moving through my bones

If I disappear into the low light
Will you find me in the afterglow?
If I lose my name in the moment
Will your voice bring me home?

Hold me in the hush before the rise
Keep me in the spark behind my eyes
If the world turns cold, if the dark runs deep
Be the sound that carries me

(Velvet echo...)
(Call me home...)
Lift me up
Don't let go

You come back like a velvet echo
Soft enough to save me, strong enough to let go
Right where the night and the heartbeats flow
You come back, you come back like a velvet echo

Stay with me in the afterglow
In the space where only our two heartbeats know
Right where the night turns liquid gold
You come back, you come back like a velvet echo

Oh-oh
Velvet echo
Oh-oh
Call me home
