Violet, Oh Violet

Intro

Late bell, pink sky, heartbeat in stereo

Verse

Saw you by the lockers, sunlight in your hair

Brown waves fall like summer, blue eyes caught me there

Ninth grade at Granger, you're a quiet kind of light

Mr. Manny calls roll, but you’re the only name I write

Pre-chorus

You laugh with Orlando, don't notice how I stare

Taylen throws her sideways words, but you don't even care

In 3D class you sketch a world that only you can see

And I keep all my sketches of a place where you and me could be

Chorus

Violet, oh Violet, you're the color in my day

Violet, oh Violet, blue eyes guide my way

Brown hair in the hallway, my heart can't hide

I keep it in my pockets till I walk you home tonight

Verse

You talk about the models, polygons come alive

Teacher Mr. Manny smiles, says "Let your pixels fly"

Orlando high-fives you, you're laughing like you glow

Taylen turns away but you move like you don't know

Pre-chorus

When class is finally over, you fold your things so slow

You tell me about Zero, how he waits at home below

You say the day gets better when you cross your front-door line

And I imagine leaning in, saying, "Will you be mine?"

Chorus

Violet, oh Violet, you're the color in my day

Violet, oh Violet, blue eyes guide my way

Brown hair in the hallway, my heart can't hide

I keep it in my pockets till I walk you home tonight

Bridge

Simple moments, lunchroom laughs, late-notes in my phone

I draw your smile in margins, can't keep it on my own

Zero waits by your window, a little flash of home

I hope one night you notice me beside you on the road

Chorus

Violet, oh Violet, you're the color in my day

Violet, oh Violet, blue eyes guide my way

Brown hair in the hallway, my heart can't hide

I keep it in my pockets till I walk you home tonight

Violet, oh Violet, whisper soft and low

A ninth-grade heartbeat dreaming, I just want you to know

Outro

Under streetlight shadows, you and Zero by the gate

I'll say your name like a promise — Violet, I can't wait
