Your shadow’s stretching on the cracked concrete,
Pulling me in like a midnight magnet.
You got a look that could quiet the street—
Something soft wrapped around all the damage.
We’re both carrying bruises we don’t name,
Two broken pieces learning how to touch.
You breathe in slow like you’re fighting the flames,
But baby, we both know it’s been burning us.

You say danger like it’s something holy—
But the way you hold me don’t feel lonely.

You’re velvet on the wreckage,
Soft against the mess I made.
Every line you trace is a message
Saying it’s okay to feel this way.
Yeah, we’re tangled in the fallout,
But somehow it still feels right.
You’re velvet on the wreckage—
And it’s saving me tonight.

Your heartbeat’s humming through the city drone,
Matching rhythm with the neon signs.
We’re two half-healed stories thrown
Into a place where the broken shine.
Your hands read me like a journal page,
Highlighting every scar I tried to hide.
And when you kiss me like you’re turning the page—
Baby, everything feels justified.

You say fragile like it’s worth protecting—
And I finally feel a little less defenseless.

You’re velvet on the wreckage,
Soft against the mess I made.
Every line you trace is a message
Saying it’s okay to feel this way.
Yeah, we’re tangled in the fallout,
But somehow it still feels right.
You’re velvet on the wreckage—
And it’s saving me tonight.

We ain’t whole but we’re still breathing,
Patchwork hearts with room to heal.
Maybe love ain’t about the leaving—
Maybe it’s about staying when it’s real.

You’re velvet on the wreckage,
All the softness in my storm.
Every touch pulls me from the edges,
Makes the broken feel reborn.
Yeah, we’re standing in the shadows,
But the truth is burning bright—
You’re velvet on the wreckage…
And it’s saving me tonight.

Saving me tonight…
Velvet on the wreckage.
