Velvet Skies

Our Light (feat. Lore)

The album and the first chapter of the album kicks off with a song that’s really dear to my heart. Our Light drops the listener in the middle of a relationship in crisis. The slow tempo, combined with clear vocals yet haunting lyrics further enhance the feeling of two people living disconnected from each other. Without pointing fingers the girl expresses her wish for the problems to be over and for her and her partner to find a way to move on together.

Lyrics


While I'm waiting for our light to shine

I want you to say that we’ve still got time

Longing for our own cloud nine

While we’re waiting for our light to shine


Falling through the motions

God, this bed feels empty here

Caught up in these new emotions

When you’re anywhere but near


And I’ve been talking all the time

But walls don’t care one bit for me

Won’t you say we’re out of rhymes

And we’re all stuck in misery


Stuck beneath the surface

God, my heart needs you to beat

Don’t just say that I deserve this

And won’t ever feel your heat


And I’ve been dreaming all the time

Nightmares kept me from falling deep

Won’t you say that you are mine

I might find you when I sleep


While I’m waiting for our light to shine

I want you to say that we’ve still got time

Longing for our own cloud nine

While we’re waiting for our light to shine


While we’re waiting for our light to shine


While I’m waiting for our light to shine

I want you to say that we’ve still got time

Longing for our own cloud nine

While we’re waiting for our light to shine


While we're waiting for our light to shine
