Violet, give me your answer

Am I a perhaps or perhaps I'm a maybe?

Violet, give me your hand

We can travel in tandem and I'll be your Grady

Don't lose your patience

They'll separate us when we're cold and numb

These conversations will keep us warm until the summer comes... then we'll run

Don't try to fool them

They can break you into bits and pieces

They're lost and cruel men

And they will lie and cheat you time and again... and again

But if you stay they will parade you on the green

(Just like a pageant queen)

You'll grow into the brightest flower ever seen

Violet, give me your answer

Am I a perhaps or perhaps I'm a maybe?

Violet, give me your hand

We can travel in tandem and I'll be your Grady

And you'll look sweet upon a seat

Of a skeleton built for two
