Lyrics to Colours

Since I can remember
I've always loved September
And the way the colors
Promise something better, oh
Since I can recall
I've always loved the fight
The running up the mountain
Just to see the final curtain call
And when the nighttime came
I always hid away
Just to protect myself
From incidental pain
But you brought the colors back
Before, it was white and black
I was a stone beneath the current
You were the storm that carried me
Up to the surface
Brought me into a world that felt worth it
Like I earned it, I deserve it, and you said to me
That this is how it's meant to be
Since I can remember
I was digging holes out in the backyard
Just in case they left
Without saying goodbye
Since I can recall
I've been jumping ships
Out in the ocean front
Scared I wasn't good enough for them all
And when the nighttime came
I always hid away
Just to protect myself
From incidental shame
But you brought the colors back
Before, it was white and black
I was a stone beneath the current
You were the storm that carried me
Up to the surface
Brought me into a world that felt worth it
Like I earned it, I deserve it, and you said to me
That this is how it's meant to be
I was empty
So incomplete
You showed me that
I was everything that I need
I was empty
So incomplete
You showed me
I was everything that I need
I was everything that I need
Since I can remember
I've always loved September
And the way the colors
Promise something better, oh
Since I can recall
I've always loved the fight
The running up the mountain
Just to see the final curtain call
(That was ****ing awesome)
