Velvet Rain

Let it fall, let it fall
Velvet rain on the window

City got teeth, the bills got claws
People throw shade then call it applause
You come home tired with the world on your coat
I read every storm that you never wrote
Kick off your shoes, leave the war at the mat
I made some tea, put the soft song back
No need to perform, no need to explain
I know how to love you in velvet rain

When the night gets heavy
Lay it down on me
I can be the quiet
You don't have to earn to keep

Let it fall like velvet rain (velvet rain)
Take the whole day off your name
If the whole wide world turns away
I got you (I got you)

Rain, rain (let it fall)
Velvet on the windowpane

I don't need crowns, I don't need posts
I just need the chair where you laugh the most
You're not a headline, not a trophy, not a trend
You're the prayer I speak when the daylight ends
Years from now when the grey moves in
I'ma still be here with the kettle on
Soft doesn't mean weak, and quiet ain't shame
Roses grow loud after velvet rain

When the night gets heavy
Lay it down on me
I can be the quiet
You don't have to earn to keep

Let it fall like velvet rain (velvet rain)
Take the whole day off your name
If the whole wide world turns away
I got you (I got you)

Tell me where it hurts (everywhere they don't see)
Then give the weight to me (stay)
Always (don't let go)
I won't (then let it rain)

Let it fall like velvet rain (velvet rain)
Take the whole day off your name
If the whole wide world turns away
I got you, I'll stay

I got you
Velvet rain
