Matthew Good - Coming Out In Purple lyrics

Getting nervous, getting nervous As he walks towards her house The night caving in on the roof of his head The flowers are getting heavier And his legs are trying to turn around And go the other way instead We are getting very small We are getting very small We are getting very small Very small, we are We are fading into the background We are fading into the background If roses are red and violets are blue We are coming out in purple Roses are red, these violets are blue Tonight we are coming out in purple Okay, we're back and we have resumed We have resumed walking down the street We have decided to think about something else When we get there, when we get there then we can think about what we are doing Think about what you are doing, what you are doing There is, there is, there is a telephone pole in front of you Just go around it Just, just ease yourself around it It's not as hard as it looks It's not as hard as it looks, yeah It's not as hard as it looks It's not as hard as it looks We are, we are fading into the background We are, we are backing into the foreground We are, we are thinking about something else We are thinking about something else Thinking about something else Just thinking about something else Violets are red and roses are blue We are coming out in purple Violets are red, these roses are blue Tonight we are coming out in purple Twelve phone calls, count them, twelve! They wanna know why she's going out with this guy They are seriously threatening never to speak to her again Never again, never again You know, you know the blow dryer won't work And she can't find, she can't find a matching shirt We are beginning to doubt this We are beginning to doubt Precious like a tidal wave the doorbell rings Her mother waves her down to answer for it, answer for it We, we are accountable for our own actions, by the way We have to answer for it, answer for it We, we're gonna answer for it For once you're gonna answer for it Answer for it Answer for it He leans the flowers against the door What just happened, he's not sure But he hopes she's feeling better We are fading into the background We are fading into the background Cut
