[Verse 1] Local stays open long after the names settle one letter shifts and the face is already someone else they keep what they need they let the rest go and the channel fills with people who were never asked [Pre-Chorus] Somebody left something somebody else just found it neither one sure who wrote it and W H C is still refreshing trying to decide who left it [Chorus] They’re coloring the local one letter at a time same face, different spelling same channel, no clear line somebody’s watching somebody and nobody will sign they’re coloring the local and calling it design [Verse 2] They were gone when it mattered or present just long enough something appeared and the timing was already thin they say the picture holds they say the story fits but every version of it still needs someone else to finish it [Pre-Chorus] Somebody points somebody stays quiet somebody thinks someone else is moving somebody else just changes a name and no one can say who was standing there [Chorus] They’re coloring the local one letter at a time same face, different spelling same channel, no clear line somebody’s watching somebody and nobody will sign they’re coloring the local and calling it design [Bridge] Could be the ones who stayed could be the ones who left could be the ones who only change a letter and keep the rest everybody has a theory nobody has the rest they keep the names they lose the ones who wrote them they keep the outline and forget the rest [Chorus] They’re coloring the local one letter at a time same face, different spelling same channel, no clear line somebody’s watching somebody and nobody will sign they’re coloring the local and calling it design
