Lyrics
0:34It caught me off guard
0:38Tears were streaming my eyes were teeming
0:41With all of nostalgia's lies
0:50It emptied my heart
0:53All the weight dropped out my stomach
0:57With all my defences down
1:06What is this place?
1:08Can you take me back to somewhere darlin'
1:13Where I feel safe?
1:16Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
1:21Spinning and laughing
1:24Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
1:31Oh
1:41These streets break my heart
1:44There's pain unfurling and desperate yearning
1:48For all my friends who are gone
1:56Those were the times where we all had nothing
2:00Most my friends are still against it
2:04For all I've gained there's something lost
2:12What is this place?
2:15Can you take me back to somewhere darlin'?
2:20These purple days
2:23Left a violent mark on the oak tree hollow
2:27I was spinning and laughing
2:31Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
2:42Before I'm pushing up daisies
2:46Give me a long heady summer
2:50With arms open wide
2:55I won't take this world for granted
2:58I'll become what I've been asking
3:02I'll accept the path that lays before my eyes
3:15All my defences down
3:23What is this place?
3:26Can you take me back to somewhere darlin'
3:31Where I feel safe?
3:34Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
3:38I was spinning and laughing
3:42Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
It caught me off guard Tears were streaming my eyes were teeming With all of nostalgia's lies It emptied my heart All the weight dropped out my stomach With all my defences down What is this place? Can you take me back to somewhere darlin' Where I feel safe? Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow Spinning and laughing Was it ever what I thought it truly was? Oh These streets break my heart There's pain unfurling and desperate yearning For all my friends who are gone Those were the times where we all had nothing Most my friends are still against it For all I've gained there's something lost What is this place? Can you take me back to somewhere darlin'? These purple days Left a violent mark on the oak tree hollow I was spinning and laughing Was it ever what I thought it truly was? Before I'm pushing up daisies Give me a long heady summer With arms open wide I won't take this world for granted I'll become what I've been asking I'll accept the path that lays before my eyes All my defences down What is this place? Can you take me back to somewhere darlin' Where I feel safe? Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow I was spinning and laughing Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
