The song is Hey There Delilah by The Plain White Tees
Hey there, Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
Violet was away on tour and Pearl stayed home in New York. It became a tradition of the sort that they would write letters to each other every month and Violet would start hers off the same way every time. She'd always start off with " Hey Delilah, I miss your beautiful smile. Hows New York?"
I'm a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear, it's true
Violet was in Minnesota for the tour; around a thousand miles away from her Delilah. She'd missed her smile and everything about her. Tonight Violet was performing with Valentina and Aquaria in Minnesota whilst all the way back in New York, Pearl got herself a gig alongside Miss Fame and Ariel Versace. Violet's set had finished but she'd have to wait an extra hour until Pearls would so they could finally talk before Violet was whisked away to another flight.
On the way to the airport, Violet knew that Pearls set wouldn't be finished yet so she'd left a simple voice message.
" Hey Delilah, I miss you so much and I hope you did great on your set. I know I wasn't there to see you but I know for a fucking fact that you looked absolutely stunning. "
Next stop was Los Angeles, the plane ride was seemed to go by smoothly. Jason slept through most of it but he woke up half way and wrote some more in his letter to Matthew.
' I swear you shine brighter than Times Square it's self '
Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
Tour went on and soon Violet was in Phoenix doing another show. Pearl and Violet were constantly skyping when they weren't doing sets or sleeping. When Pearl had slept, Violet started another letter for her Delilah
" Dear Delilah, I miss the way you scrunch your nose when you smile. I'm in sunny Phoenix at the moment and I miss the shit out of you. Tour is almost over, so don't worry about the distance because no matter how far away I am from you, I'll always be there for you"
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Unfortunately, Pearl and Violet were apart on their 3 year anniversary. Pearl couldn't be mad because it wasn't her partner's fault, but on the other hand, Violet couldn't help but feel bad so she tried so hard to make sure that Pearl didn't feel lonely for the next month she was away. Sending flowers and chocolates to the small Brooklyn apartment. Even going as far as to record a song for her partner sending it via hard drive.
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
" I'm always here for you never forget that Delilah. No matter how far I am from you, I'll always be there for you. So chin up and smile, if you miss my voice give the song a listen "
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Back in New York, Pearl was stoic. She missed her Violet, the warm cuddles she gave and all the love the two had. Anytime Pearl got lonely, she'd remember that Violet would be home soon, that Violet would always be by her side no matter what; but there have been times where Pearl needed some reassurance. She'd end up on the phone calling her Violet.
Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
Violet was having issues with her pay getting docked and she was only getting her tips. She knew it was a problem. Pearl was back in New York, the bills were getting paid but just barely. Pearl knew about the financial problem and she'd gotten the help of a family lawyer to help aid them.
"Dear Delilah, I miss you... "
" Dear Delilah, my pay is slowly starting to come back in. I'll be home before you know it. One more show, I miss you... "
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Pearl stood at the gate of the airport, waiting for her Violet to come back home to her. Minutes passed and soon there she was. Violet came out of the gates holding a bag and her rolling suitcase. It'd been months since they last touched; since they last kissed. The two ran to each other and hugged. Life was finally looking up for both of them. Life was good.
