"purple" lyrics

"purple"

It's funny
When your mom shows pictures of you in your school clothes
Your buzzcut
And scrapes on your knees changed, but those eyes I still know

And it's crazy (It's crazy)
How I used to visit your town like a tourist
Now I got (I got)
A local grocery store and a favorite florist
And so it goes that

You kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect 'til the two lines formed a circle
And I melt with you, your red and my blue
Now I see the world in purple, purple

Now a toothbrush
A coat and pair of shoes all come in doubles (Doubles, doubles, doubles)
And we fight
Over who I'm hanging out with like a real couple (Couple, couple, couple, couple)

It's a small world (It's a small world)
When it only can revolve around us two
It's crazy (It's crazy)
I had big dreams 'til I tied myself to you
Now I'm all-consumed

And you kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect 'til the two lines formed a circle
And I melt with you, your red and my blue
Now I see the world in purple, purple

I see the world in, I see the world in purple (Purple, purple, purple)
I see the world in, I see the world in purple (Purple, purple, purple)

Melt with you 'til it all turns black
Are we so in love? Are we too attached?
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
When you smooth it out, but it feels too flat
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
When you get so close and you can't go back
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
Melt with you 'til it just feels sad

Olivia Rodrigo told about "Purple" during her interview for BBC published on the 10th of June, 2026, "Initially, it was a love song, and it was very sweet and saccharine, and a few months after we wrote it, we revisited it and put new chords underneath it and tweaked some of the lyrics. So, yeah, it's definitely the part of the album where things start to sour and unravel."
