Daphne Loves Derby – To Struggle With Light Colors lyrics

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
