lyrics

I felt your eyes on me when we were in the crowd
I twirled around and let the trumpets drown you out
So tired of waiting, tired of feeling faithless
No hesitating, time I tried being weightless

In the rapture of the velvet night,
The heartbeats fill the floor
I let the music lift my feet
I'm not grounded anymore
Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float
To leave behind the things you said
And all the things you won't

Wrapped up inside these sounds I am nothing at all
I have no name now so I will not here you call
My heart is racing, body feeling shaky
It's time to fade in, let the music take me

In the rapture of the velvet night,
The heartbeats fill the floor
I let the music lift my feet
I'm not grounded anymore
Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float
To leave behind the things you said
And all the things you won't

Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float
