[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Theres 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 its finally happening
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You made me tradе my violets for roses
~#**************#~
You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
~#**************#~
Trade her violets for roses
~#**************#~
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Theres something in the air
~#**************#~
I hope it doesnt change, that its for real
~#**************#~
The beginning of something big happening
~#**************#~
And by the mayor, the rallies
~#**************#~
In the streets have ceased
~#**************#~
And still, the shadows haunt the avenue
~#**************#~
The silence is deafening
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
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 its playing just for me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You made me trade my violets for roses
~#**************#~
You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
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)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Theres something in the air
~#**************#~
The girls are runnin round in summer dresses
~#**************#~
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
