Violets for Roses

Violets for Roses - Lana Del Rey

There's something in the air

The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses

With their masks off and it makes me so happy

Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley

And the bookstore doors are opening

And it's finally happening

Ever since I fell out of love with you

I fell back in love with me

And boy does it feel sweet

Like a summer breeze

Ever since I fell out of love with you

I fell back in love with the city

Like thе Paramount sign sparkling

Sparkling just for me

You made me tradе my violets for roses

You tried to trade in my new truck for horses

Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate

A simple life I chose this

You made me trade my violets for roses

You tried to take all the pink off my toes and

God knows the only mistake that a man can make

Is tryna make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

Ah-la-ha ah-ha

Trade her violets for roses

Ah-la-ha ah-ha

There's something in the air

I hope it doesn't change that it's for real

The beginning of something big happening

And by the murder alleys

In the streets have ceased

And still the shadows haunt the avenue

The silence is deafening

Ever since I fell out of love with you

I fell back in love with the streets

And God does it feel sweet

Like a summer breeze

Ever since I fell out of love with you I breakdance to the backbeat

And God does it sound sweet

Like it's playing just for me

You made me trade my violets for roses

You tried to trade in my new truck for horses

Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate

A simple life I chose this

You made me trade my violets for roses

You tried to take all the pink off my toes and

God knows the only mistake that a man can make

Is tryin' to make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

Ah-la-ha ah-ha

Trade her violets for roses

Ah-la-ha ah-ha

Trade her violets for roses

Ah-la-ha ah-ha

There's something in the air

The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses

With their masks off and it makes me so happy
