Violet

You don't know how beautiful you look
When the sun rolls into nighttime and you're on our own
One soft word is all it took
To breathe it all your highlights and your undertones
And I've tried to express the way I felt
But time just keeps on running out on me
I miss you, and if I were someone else
Maybe we would be more than a fantasy

If I could dye everything violet
You know I'd paint the world with you
But they're not ready for us yet
So we'll just stay in red and blue

Crimson leaves and navy skies
The fear that kept me from you, oh it's dissipating
And I can promise you I've tried
To understand, but still I don't know what I get from waiting
Don't tell me you're better off alone
Everybody needs someone to need
That's what I'll be, while we're young and when we're grown
The autumn nights are warmer in your company

If I could dye everything violet
You know I'd paint the world with you
But they're not ready for us yet
So we'll just stay in red and blue

Be free
If I told you all that's happened between then and now, would you believe me?
And honey you know I would give a thousand summers to stay with you
But hasn't anybody ever taught you that you can't mix red and blue?
