[Intro] [Verse 1] I woke up underneath the neon With your perfume on my clothes Couldn't tell if I was dreaming Couldn't tell where the night had gone You said, "Don't make this complicated," Like we weren't already lost Two bad hearts and one cheap motel Trying to calculate the cost [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know We're dancing on a wire— On a wire... But every time you let me go— You pull me higher... [Chorus] We're velvet static, burning through the walls Electric panic every time you call We're beautiful disasters dressed in black You say we're over— Then you come back. We're velvet static, buzzing in my veins A little bit of pleasure, little bit of pain If we're gonna crash, baby, make it fast— 'Cause we were never built to last. [Verse 2] You leave your lipstick on my coffee cup Like evidence you want me caught I tell myself that I don't need you Then I spend the whole night hoping that you call There's a cigarette burning backwards There's a shadow underneath your door I know exactly how this ends Still I'm reaching for the handle once more [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know We're dancing on a wire— On a wire... But every time you let me go— You pull me higher. [Chorus] We're velvet static, burning through the walls Electric panic every time you call We're beautiful disasters dressed in black You say we're over— Then you come back. We're velvet static, buzzing in my veins A little bit of pleasure, little bit of pain If we're gonna crash, baby, make it fast— 'Cause we were never built to last. [Bridge] Maybe we're just ghosts Looking for somebody to haunt Maybe we're just scared Of becoming what we want Maybe if I kissed you now We'd forget what we were running from— Running from... Running from... So turn the lights out. [Chorus] We're velvet static— BURNING THROUGH THE WALLS! Electric panic— EVERY TIME YOU CALL! [Outro] You say we're over... Then you come back.
