Colors

I’m pouring ink on the pages I color my life and face it There are things I don’t wanna see So I paint them a different color I hide them as I hide my sorrow I wanna see the sun turn peach While holding you on an empty beach I wanna see everything in blue Just like I see you I’m tired of these same colors I risk it all and make a mix It’s my soul that has to be fixed I throw your brush when I am done I borrowed yours, cuz I don’t have one I borrowed your courage and now I am brave So I don’t run when I’m hit by a tidal wave. I left my shoes in the streets So that I can walk bare feet So that you can carry me lead me to something pretty Show me the city Let’s flicker together in the night We are misshapen but still bright Would you hold me tonight? Would you keep me with you show me the blue I see blue when I see you I see colors and dark Then the colors spark in light I feel the air of the night And the stars shining bright I would jump from a roof tonight to catch some blue I don’t know about you But it’s lovely and it’s night Can you feel it with me tonight?
