lyrics

[Chorus]
We've got two purple ribbons
Not for the faint of heart
But our love has no conditions
Two purple ribbons

[Verse 1]
White coats go in and out of doors
Past white halls, white walls
White forms with blank white spaces
To make difficult calls

[Verse 2]
Gray skies as heavy rain pours down
So hard that you can't see
Gray news, grayer timelines
Everything around turned gray to me

[Chorus]
We've got two purple ribbons
Not for the faint of heart
But our love has no conditions
Two purple ribbons

[Interlude]
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

[Verse 3]
Black skies littered with clouds and stars
A walk in the late night breeze
Black suits, a black binder
The black guitar that he once gave to me

[Chorus]
We've got two purple ribbons
Keep them close to the heart
Yeah, our love has no conditions
Two purple ribbons

[Chorus]
(Purple ribbons)
We've got two purple ribbons (We love you, we love you)
Keep them close to the heart
Yeah, our love has no conditions (Purple ribbons)
Two purple ribbons

[Outro]
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
