Violet's Library Lyrics

Dear Sean

I know it's been a long time coming

But I had to take some time

To figure out what to say

To be honest

I'd rather be alone, stay at home

But if you're going to call me on the phone again

Then I'll test your untimely courage

Please read my invitation in the following verses

I'll meet you by the creek

Where Violet's library used to be

The place where we found out

There could have been a chance for

The you and me

You said that if we fall

We'd fall into place

Cause you believed in saving grace

And I believed in better days

Dear Sean

Your response was very kind

You even gave me a clear day and time to meet

And I'm looking forward to seeing your face

I'm sure it's weathered by the years away

I wasn't there to trace

And we can act like old friends

I'll keep my distance

Like the virus hit again

Doesn't it come in waves

The pain and the confusion

No, we didn't have 20/20 vision after all

But still you call

As if no time had passed at all

But I'll meet you by the creek

Where Violet's library used to be

The place where we found out

There could have been a chance for

The you and me

You said that if we fall

We'd fall into place

Cause you believed in saving grace

And I believed in better days

So tell me everything

Show me a picture of her diamond ring

I wanna live vicariously

Through your fiancé's Facebook posts

That show the world how happy you are

And I'll keep playing my guitar

Writing songs about the day that we first met

Cause how could I forget

When I met you by the creek

Where Violet's library used to be

The place where we found out

It was our only chance for

The you and me

You said that if we fall

We'd fall into place

Cause you believed in saving grace

And I believed in better days

But now you believe in saving face

And I'm longing for better days

Yeah you believe in saving face

And I'm hoping for brighter days

We can act like old friends

I'll keep my distance

Like the virus hit again
