purple by Olivia Rodrigo

Artist: Olivia Rodrigo

Album: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

Genre: Pop

Length: 4:00

“purple” sees Rodrigo reflect on an intimate relationship that feels all-encompassing and comforting at first, but grows increasingly sour as she loses her sense of self within it. Olivia initially teased the track in an interview with Cosmopolitan: There’s still some purple in my life—let’s just say that. I won’t give too much away but there’s still some purple.

purple lyrics

It's funny
When your mom shows pictures of you in your
School clothes
Your buzzcut
And scrapes on your knees changed, but those eyes
I still know
And it's crazy (it's crazy)
How I used to visit your town like a tourist
Now I got (I got)
A local grocery store and a favorite florist
And so it goes that
You kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect till the two lines formed a circle
And I melt with you, you're red and I'm blue
Now I see the world in purple
Purple
Now a toothbrush
A coat and pair of shoes all come in
Double (double, double, double)
And we fight
Over who I'm hanging out with like a
Real couple (couple, couple, couple)
It's a small world (it's a small world)
When it only can revolve around us two
It's crazy (it's crazy)
I had big dreams till I tied myself to you
Now I'm all consumed and
You kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect till the two lines formed a circle
And I melt with you, you're red and I'm blue
Now I see the world in purple
Purple
I see the world in, I see the world in
Purple (purple, purple)
I see the world in, I see the world in
Purple (purple, purple)
Melt with you till it all turns black
Are we so in love? Are we too attached?
Melt with you till it all turns black
When you smooth it out, but it feels too flat
Melt with you till it all turns black
When you get so close and you can't go back
Melt with you till it all turns black
Melt with you till I just feel sad
