lyrics

Sitting on the bus one day;
you get on and move me in.
I’m biting my lip to hold back tears.
I’ve got my knees pulled up to my chin.
You tell me to pick that head up,
smile, and outshine the sun.
You say some day we’re just gonna go,
get in the car and have some fun.

When I’m hiding inside like a scared little girl
or I’m listening to music to drown out the world,
when someone’s been using my heart as a toy,
I know I’ll be saved by my violin boy.

I’m walking down the hall alone,
I’m quiet, my head’s in space.
It’s been a bad day and all I need is
just to see a friendly face.
When a hand shoulder
makes me want to jump for joy,
I know everything will be okay;
here comes my violin boy.

When I’m hiding inside like a scared little girl
or I’m listening to music to drown out the world,
when someone’s been using my heart as a toy,
I know I’ll be saved by my violin boy.

Don’t need no invitation,
just need to be who I am.
With you I just need to laugh,
smile and not give a damn.

When I’m hiding inside like a scared little girl
or I’m listening to music to drown out the world,
when someone’s been using my heart as a toy,
I know I’ll be saved by my violin boy.
