Blue Velvet Dress

Standing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge Wearing my blue velvet dress, peach on my lips Holding my black guitar like without it I might break That's the night everything changed Feeling your eyes behind each lens Smiling so well no-one knows that it's pretend I'd painted over every red streak down my face That's the night everything changed And I'm still stuck at New Years Eve 2021 It's killing me Up there in my favourite blue velvet dress Singing to strangers, my heart in shreds Cos nobody knew that I'd just lost you But holding white knuckles to the past Like if I squeeze tight enough, it'll change it's path Living like I never stepped down from that stage Well, it's time something changed Cos I've been stuck at New Years Eve 2021 And it's killing me Still wearing that favourite blue velvet dress Singing to strangers, my heart in shreds But I'm seeing it now like I couldn't before Blue velvet was the colour I wore But I don't wanna wear this damn dress anymore I'm zipping it down, I'm taking it off I'm finding a new one, something sparkling and bright Something for the future and not for that night Cos I'm seeing it now Like I couldn't before That blue velvet ain't my colour no more
