Violet Lyrics

I don't want to think about the season

I don't even know if it's still cold

Didn't have the gut to come back friday

Couldn't get the lump out of my throat

I don't want to think about the ocean

Something always pulling to the coast

I'm so sorry I gave up hoping

I wanted you to know

I just wanna hold your hand while you sleep

Are you still holding me

I just want to be a man you'd believe

But it's a lonely thing

I think a lot about the summers

Circles in the lawn were turning brown

I carved my name in that boxelder

You would be the one to cut it down

I just wanna hold your hand while you sleep

Are you still holding me

I just want to be a man you'd believe

But it's a lonely thing

This is a lonely thing

Everybody asks me how I'm doing

I don't really want to give it thought

Even though the tree's been gone forever

Nothing's gonna grow back in that spot

When I survey

The wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died

My richest gain

I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride
