Violet Lyrics

[Verse 1: Majid Al Maskati]
I watched the current moving through her
And I regret when I don't share what I feel
I'm learning when I make the wrong move
Won't let 'em tell me that this love isn't real
Half a chance is all that we need
I've been looking for this all of my life
I didn't know that you could be real
I didn't know that you would be here tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
Red, red roses
Sweet, sweet wine
Just like violets
In the sky
We keep growing
When our hearts are open

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face (More than a pretty face)
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase (Something you can't erase)
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along (I'm ready to move along)
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home (Baby, I'm coming home)
[Verse 2: Majid Al Maskati]
I know you see potential in me
But they convinced me that you've made up your mind
I've been holding onto what we were taught
But I'm learning to let go of the lies
Standing at the edge of the sea
I've been waiting for a change in my life (My life)
I never thought that this could be real
I used to dream about you every night

[Pre-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
Red, red roses
Sweet, sweet wine
Just like violets
In the sky
We keep growing
When our hearts are open

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face (More than a pretty face)
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase (Something you can't erase)
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along (I'm ready to move along)
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home (Baby, I'm coming home)
[Post-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
Baby, I'm coming home

[Bridge: Majid Al Maskati]
Baby, can we work this
Out, so this worth it?
I don't wanna take your love
I just wanna earn it

I just wanna learn it
I don't wanna burn this
Down, so help me build the bridge
Tap into my circuit

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home
She's got a better taste, more than a pretty face (More than a pretty face)
Tattoos around her waist, something you can't erase (Something you can't erase)
Where did we go wrong? I'm ready to move along (I'm ready to move along)
I've been around 'em all, baby, I'm coming home (Baby, I'm coming home)

[Outro: Majid Al Maskati]
Baby, I'm coming home
