[Verse 1]
You leave your heels by the door
Laughing with your guard down low
Tea on the sideboard, page turned soft
No one sees the golden glow

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need the crown tonight
Just the room and the golden light
Let them talk, let them stare
You are safest when you're bare

[Chorus]
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Softest hands in the whole town
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Pull me close, don't let me down
(oh, oh)
You're the spark inside the gown
Velvet crown, velvet crown

[Verse 2]
You fix the tear in my sleeve
Then you smile like you believe
In every bruise, in every scar
You make mercy look like art

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need the crown tonight
Just the room and the golden light
Let them talk, let them stare
You are safest when you're bare

[Chorus]
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Softest hands in the whole town
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Pull me close, don't let me down
(oh, oh)
You're the spark inside the gown
Velvet crown, velvet crown

[Bridge]
When the midnight door swings shut
And the world gets sharp enough
You don't harden, you don't run
You just turn your face to love

[Final Chorus]
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Softest hands in the whole town
Velvet crown, velvet crown
Pull me close, don't let me down
(ooh, ooh)
You're the spark inside the gown
Velvet crown, velvet crown
