lyrics

It took you by surprise
When you couldn't decide
To come out from the other side
I think of you now, even after so long
Without having seen you again

Violet blue
But lighter still
You sit with the breeze
If it be your will
But in a way
You just couldn't hide
Now the world is new
Violet blue

I'll pretend that I'm god
And give you a song
Always from my heart
I'll try to respond
And kindly move on
Cause it seems like
I never belong

Violet blue
But lighter still
You sit with the breeze
If it be your will
But in a way
You just couldn't hide
Now your world is new
Violet blue

As slow as it goes
I'm stuck in repose
Just thinking about you
Violet rose

My window it plays
The old days
Like a movie of what I can't change
I think of you now
Even after so long
Without having seen you again

Violet blue
But lighter still
You sit with the breeze
If it be your will
But in a way, you just couldn't hide

Now your world is new
Violet blue
Now your world is new
Violet blue
Now your world is new
Violet blue
