[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I paid the price for bad advice
Now I’m on my knees and singing
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I paid the price for bad advice
Now I’m on my knees and singing
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
Violet was written by Max Wolfgang & Justin Hayward-Young & Henry Camamile.

“There’s a confidence in ‘Violet’ that I don’t think any of us have in the band, but it is light [compared to the shade of some other tracks]. We also write songs to feel excited and be uplifted. This is one of those songs: Just imagine if you had the confidence to tell someone you really like, and...
