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 defenses 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 defenses 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?
