The Reckless Nights - Velveteen Lyrics

I heard that line she often says but I stood there with a crack in my head
The dirt beneath her finger nails had some blood from a Gypsy's lair
Her aroma of a newly born afternoon has set its sail
She's left a scar that soon won't fade from the abuse and her mascaraed
When we met we were in our teens
We were young and dumb
But then things change we were not the same
We know that our love has a price to pay each of us
I've walked these halls a million time but her shadow seems to trail behind
The velvet sheets she used to weave has a glitter of her intimacy
She's pressed her tongue to her cheek as she lays behind the empty seat
I get so close I wanna see but my eyes are abstract to me
When we met we were in our teens
We were young and dumb
But then things change we were not the same
We know that our love has a price to pay each of us
