A violet night kept you alive 

But you never had the will to stay here 

I was possessed by your eyes 

But you fell asleep most of the time 

So I learned to speak myself 

While you were in dreams somewhere else so..... 



Maybe maybe if I could see you now (oh ohhh) 

I'll find a way to sing somehow 

Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow 



She always said I was too silent 

And I never found the words to entertain her 

Maybe I tried just too hard to always be clever 

While she always starved for simple words to keep her safe 

To keep her safe 



Maybe maybe if I could see you now (oh ohhh) 

I'll find a way to sing somehow 

Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow 

Maybe maybe if I don't see you now 

I'll keep myself shattered somehow 

Oh in every way, every way somehow 



A man who speaks with a silver tongue 

Yes he whispered to me something sweet that swept me away 

I sold your soul to a pack of wolves 

For two pounds of pride and a lifetime supply of regrets 

Regrets 



A violet night kept you alive 

But you never had the will to stay here 

Maybe it's all for the best 

So darling don't lose any sleep over me 



Maybe maybe if I could see you now (oh ohhh) 

I'll find a way to sing somehow 

Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow 

Maybe maybe if I don't see you now 

I'll keep myself shattered somehow 

Oh in every way, every way somehow
