Chrome on the curb, baby
Late load, soft seat
Your hands on the wheel
Your name on repeat
We roll through the blocks
In a velvet cab
Got a heat in my chest
That I can’t stash
Tight turn, hold on
Red light, then you’re gone
My pulse in the rearview
Getting stronger, getting long
Velvet truck driver
Drive me higher
Velvet truck driver
Take me higher
Slow it down
Then pull me through
Velvet truck driver
I’m stuck on you (Oh)
Fuel in the bloodline
Bass under my skin
I pass every signal
Still let you in
You lean like a corner
I miss with my eyes
I keep one hand steady
One hand on the prize
Tight turn, hold on
Red light, then you’re gone
My pulse in the rearview
Getting stronger, getting long
Velvet truck driver
Drive me higher
Velvet truck driver
Take me higher
Slow it down
Then pull me through
Velvet truck driver
I’m stuck on you (Oh)
Cut the frame, then you smile
Static rain on the glass
I was built for the long road
But you make the miles fly past
Velvet truck driver
Drive me higher
Velvet truck driver
Take me higher
Slow it down
Then pull me through
Velvet truck driver
I’m stuck on you (Oh)
You roll in late
In that silver coat
Cherry on your lips
And a fresh-cut note
My phone goes dim
When you catch my eye
Two steps in the room
And I lose my line
Hold it there
Don’t let go
Slow it down
Let it glow
I can feel
That pull again
Right on cue
You spin me in
Velvet turntable
Turn me around
Velvet turntable
Pull me down
You got that sway
I can’t shake off
Velvet turntable
Make my heart lock
(Oh, turn me)
(Yeah, turn me)
(Delayed in your hands)
Mint on your breath
From the corner shop
Finger on the glass
When the records stop
You laugh like rain
On a hot train seat
I chase that grin
Like a stolen beat
Hold it there
Don’t let go
Melt the edge
Then let it show
I can feel
That pull again
Right on cue
You spin me in
Velvet turntable
Turn me around
Velvet turntable
Pull me down
You got that sway
I can’t shake off
Velvet turntable
Make my heart lock
(Oh, turn me)
(Yeah, turn me)
(Delayed in your hands)
Flicker out
Then back in frame
One small move
And you call my name
Half a breath
Then the drop hits hard
I’m back in your orbit
I’m back in your arms
Velvet turntable
Turn me around
Velvet turntable
Pull me down
You got that sway
I can’t shake off
Velvet turntable
Make my heart lock
Velvet turntable
Spin me tonight
Velvet turntable
Hold me right
(Oh, turn me)
(Yeah, turn me)
Velvet turntable
Stay in my light
You called my line again
At closing time
I know your name by the tone
Not by the sign
Your red light's on
Your hands stay fast
I watch you juggle the chaos
And make it last
Low hum under the floor
Cards flashing in your palm
You say,"Stay on the wire"
Then you pull me calm
One more breath
One more sign
Now the whole room leans in
On that line
Operators, operators
Keep me on the line
Operators, operators
Pull me back in time
Take me through the static
Take me where you are
Operators, operators
You're my open spark (Ooh)
Your badge is bent
Your coat smells like rain
You fix a broken connection
Without saying my name
A finger on the dial
A grin on the run
You turn the whole block over
When the shift is done
Low hum under the floor
Cards flashing in your palm
You say,"Stay on the wire"
Then you pull me calm
One more breath
One more sign
Now the whole room leans in
On that line
Operators, operators
Keep me on the line
Operators, operators
Pull me back in time
Take me through the static
Take me where you are
Operators, operators
You're my open spark (Ooh)
Flicker, flicker
Hands in the air
You cut the noise in two
And leave me there
Then you laugh like"wait"
Then you say"hold tight"
One more switch, one more pull
Then we come alive
Operators, operators
Keep me on the line
Operators, operators
Pull me back in time
Take me through the static
Take me where you are
Operators, operators
You're my open spark (Ooh)
Operators, operators
Don't let go tonight
Operators, operators
Make the whole thing right (Hey)
You got me buckled in
On this bumpy ride
Your name on my lips
Like a warning sign
I keep it cool for you
Hairpin in my chest
Every little turn
Hits me like the rest
Hold on, hold on
The floor just moved
Hold on, hold on
I’m still with you
My hands go cold
But I don’t care
When you pull me close
I’m already there
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
You shake me apart
Then you pull me back
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
I’m in too deep
And I like that
Red taillights blur
On the rain-slick lane
You laugh like you know
How to make me cave
I bit my tongue
Now I taste that spark
Every wrong-way turn
Draws a perfect arc
Hold on, hold on
The floor just moved
Hold on, hold on
I’m still with you
My hands go cold
But I don’t care
When you pull me close
I’m already there
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
You shake me apart
Then you pull me back
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
I’m in too deep
And I like that
One blink, one spark
Then you cut through
Every warning light
Turns into you
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
You shake me apart
Then you pull me back
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
I’m in too deep
And I like that
Seatbelt heart
Seatbelt heart
Don’t let me go
I like that
