"Hey Violet" lyrics

"Hey Violet"

I can't take it anymore
I'm quitting this radio silence
I'm getting out of the war
Don't know anymore who I'm fighting

Unblocked your number from my phone
It took it a while to find it
That area code's got a lot of people I don't talk to anymore
I remember when you put it in my phone
I had just played a show
I drove you home
That was all she wrote

You were my best friend
Closer to me than anyone's ever been
When you left, I lost so many things
I don't know where to start, but now

I can be in a room with you
Singing on the same damn tune
No one does it like you do, harmonizing
I ain't saying that I'll feel right
If I see you with another guy
I ain't even sayin' I don't love you anymore
I'm just sayin' that I'd survive it

Hey, Violet
I wanna see your face, Violet

Are you still living up in Hollywood
In them studio apartments?
Queen of the noise complaints
I'd be surprised if they ain't kicked you out yet

When we broke up I moved out of LA
Up into the mountains
I got drunk, got saved, wrote some music about it

I wonder if you got married yet
We talked about it
And if you're still playing games with your ex

You were my best friend
Closer to me than anyone's ever been
When you left, I lost so many things
I don't know where to start, but now

I can be in a room with you
Singing on the same damn tune
No one does it like you do, harmonizing
I ain't saying that I'll feel right
If I see you with another guy
I ain't even sayin' I don't love you anymore
I'm just sayin' that I'd survive it

Hey, Violet
I wanna see your face, Violet
