Velvet Rope

FUNK 95 BPM 3:11 Official Lyric Video

He drives past her apartment building three times a night, memorizing which window stays dark, which one glows. She doesn't know his name, only that he knows her coffee order, her gym schedule, the exact shade of red she wore last Tuesday. Obsession wears a crown and he's already crowned himself.

Lyrics

Verse 1 You don't know I'm counting every breath you take Three times around the block before the dawn breaks I got your number memorized in my chest Your shadow on the wall is better than the rest Chorus Standing at the velvet rope Watching through the glass I'm the ghost inside your code You can feel me when you pass Velvet rope, velvet rope Locked outside, can't let go Velvet rope, velvet rope You don't know, but I know Verse 2 I learned the way you walk three blocks from home I mapped your silence, made it all my own Your playlist is my scripture, your routine's my prayer I'm stitched into the fabric of the air you breathe in there Chorus Standing at the velvet rope Watching through the glass I'm the ghost inside your code You can feel me when you pass Velvet rope, velvet rope Locked outside, can't let go Velvet rope, velvet rope You don't know, but I know Bridge And it's not love when it's a prison It's not love when you're the lock I'm the fever that won't listen I'm the thing that never stops I'm the reason you feel watched I'm the itch you cannot scratch I'm the velvet rope you bought And you'll never get me back Outro Velvet rope, velvet rope I'm still here, still holding on
