After Drai's

Track 6 of Velvet Altitude

[ Lyrics ]

After Drai’s, you stay in my veins.

After Drai’s, you stay in my veins. 

Last call turned to morning, skyline soft in gold,
I said I wouldn’t text you — but here’s your name, I’m told.
Dancing in the elevator, giggles tangled in your coat,
now your cologne’s my lullaby, a dose I can’t revoke.
You traced my jaw with champagne lips, whispered, ‘Don’t pretend—’
I played it cool, but truth is, I’ve been weak since then.

Sunrise paints the room like something we could keep,
but we’re just two reflections in a window full of sleep.
No plan, no promise — just a spark that won’t expire,
and this city breathing slower under tangled wire.

After Drai’s, you stay in my veins,
warm like liquor, sweet with lies.
After Drai’s, the high remains,
even when the daylight tries.

After Drai’s, you stay in my veins —
like a rhythm I can’t deny.

You ordered breakfast room service, eggs and extra toast,
I watched you stretch in morning light — forgot I needed most.
That moment when you laughed at nothing, head against the glass,
I almost said I need this — but I let the feeling pass.
We’re just a five-star fantasy with closing time delayed,
real life’s at the doorstep, but it’s not the price we paid.

No ring, no claim, just your hand on my waist,
love on pause, but the heat’s in full force.
We don’t talk forever — we just talk for now,
yet every ‘for now’ feels like a vow.

Is this love or just a moment slow-mo’d?
Skin so close, but hearts still far from known.
You’re a sunrise I don’t want to lose,
but I can’t confuse the spark with truth.

After Drai’s, you stay in my veins,
warm like liquor, sweet with lies.
After Drai’s, the high remains,
even when the daylight tries.
After Drai’s — you stay in my veins,
like a rhythm I can’t deny.

After Drai’s… you stay… 
Yeah, you stay…
