[Verse 1] Yellow on the windowsill Yellow in the bruise on my wrist A cheap sunbeam on the sink Like it knows what I’ve been through Your coat on the chair looks dead Your laugh in the hall won’t leave Even the glass holds a stain Even the air got teeth [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning it over Like a coin in my mouth Bright little warning That I can’t spit out [Chorus] Yellow, yellow Burn in my eyes Yellow, yellow Tear through the sky You look like a promise You look like a lie Yellow, yellow Stay till I die [Verse 2] There’s a lemon peel on the floor Like a small collapsed moon And the big clock on the wall Keeps dragging me back to you I said I’d let it go But I keep picking the wound Every happy little color Turns mean in this room [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning it over Like a coin in my mouth Bright little warning That I can’t spit out [Chorus] Yellow, yellow Burn in my eyes Yellow, yellow Tear through the sky You look like a promise You look like a lie Yellow, yellow Stay till I die [Bridge] Put it on the graves Put it on the plates Put it on the face Of everybody who stays I loved it too hard I hated it too Now it’s just a halo Around the edge of you [Chorus] Yellow, yellow Burn in my eyes Yellow, yellow Tear through the sky You look like a promise You look like a lie Yellow, yellow Stay till I die
