Original lyrics
ENRewind it slow
Ah, ah, reverse
Let the shadows touch the floor
Late night, velvet in the room
We're sipping on the nectar of a velvet bloom
You came in like a storm, ready for a fight
But I'm turning down the noise, dimming down the light
No need for tragic lines or tears upon the stage
We're tearing out the drama from the very first page
Your fingertips are tracing every single scar
Undoing all the damage from where we are
Take it off, take it back
Why play the villain when the lights go low?
We got a better rhythm that is soft and slow
One touch from you and the tension breaks
A dangerous obsession with high-end stakes
This is melodrama in reverse
Slow it down, make it hurt
Taking all the bitter, making it a curse
Turn it into honey, yeah
We're dancing on the edge of a velvet flame
No more crying, just screaming out my name
Yeah, it's melodrama in reverse
In reverse, baby, in reverse
Silk ties, gentle eyes, pulling me in deep
A secret kind of magic that we get to keep
You kiss me like a promise that you intend to break
But I'm lost in every single move you make
Unwrap the dark mystery, layer by layer
Lost inside the sanctuary of a midnight prayer
Take it off, take it back
Why play the villain when the lights go low?
We got a better rhythm that is soft and slow
One touch from you and the tension breaks
A dangerous obsession with high-end stakes
This is melodrama in reverse
Slow it down, make it hurt
Taking all the bitter, making it a curse
Turn it into honey, yeah
We're dancing on the edge of a velvet flame
No more crying, just screaming out my name
Yeah, it's melodrama in reverse
No heavy tears, no sad goodbyes
Just you and I
Just silk and shadows in your eyes
Rewind the tape, keep it right here
This is melodrama in reverse
Slow it down, make it hurt
Taking all the bitter, making it a curse
Turn it into honey, yeah
We're dancing on the edge of a velvet flame
No more crying, just screaming out my name
Yeah, it's melodrama in reverse
Melodrama, in reverse
Just a whisper in the dark
