Violet

(Album: Open Up Your Head - 2020)

Going into town with her friends tonight
Met you in the back under exit lights
Felt so harmless
Goddamn charmless
I got you a drink double whiskey and coke
Forgot my lines every time we spoke
I was joking
Outside smoking

And I paid the price for bad advice
Now I'm on my knees and singing

Violet
Now my mind is set
Hold my cigarette
'Cause I'm not leaving here without you
I've been so dumb
A prodigal son
But now I'm done
Won't be leaving here without you
V-I-oh my God, Violet

You spill your drink so we share my beer
You say "Let's get out of here"
There's people fighting
Hate this lighting
Five years on and here we are
Same two people in the same damn bar
All those chances
Olive branches

And I paid the price for bad advice
Now I'm on my knees and singing

Violet
Now my mind is set
Hold my cigarette
'Cause I'm not leaving here without you
I've been so dumb
A prodigal son
But now I'm done
Won't be leaving here without you
V-I-oh my God, Violet

Oh, I'll let you go
If you give me a reason
I have been to your house
And I've been to oblivion
Could this be forever
Or just a new season?
There's no one else like you

Violet
Now my mind is set
Hold my cigarette
'Cause I'm not leaving here without you
I've been so dumb
A prodigal son
But now I'm done
Won't be leaving here without you

Violet
Now my mind is set
Hold my cigarette
'Cause I'm not leaving here without you
I've been so dumb
A prodigal son
But now I'm done
Won't be leaving here without you
V-I-oh my God, Violet

I want you violet
I'm begging violet
Why don't we try it?
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Come on, if I
I want you violet
I'm begging violet
Why don't we try it?
V-I-oh my God, Violet
V-I-oh my God, Violet
