[Verse — art rock, bright bass] My world is drawn in charcoal lines I chase the colors I can't find Red in a kiss, gold in a sale Pink in a cake behind the veil [Pre-Chorus] I paint my skin in borrowed hues They wash away before the moon [Chorus — explosive harmonies] Give me red! Give me blue! Give me something bright and new! I'd love to make the colors stay Without the things I throw away But gray is all I see between The little moments when I dream (Color me, color me) [Bridge — soft falsetto] I want a rainbow from within Not paint that barely touches skin [Outro] The color drains into the floor I reach for red and ask for more
