Violet - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You don't know how beautiful you look

When the sun rolls into nighttime and you're on your own

One soft word is all it took

To breathe in 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 skiеs

The fear that kept mе 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?
