Colors - Valerie June

Well I lie, lie awake

On a cool damn night

Giving in all up to the darkness

Just to see

Just to visit with the light

And it makes, my eyes wet again

Just to think of where we’ve been

Since we’ve begun

Count my wrongs and multiply them

By the rights to justify just what I feel

What I feel inside

Well I don’t, I don’t seem to worry

Not 'nuff about one

Too much these days

'Bout the time left to get things done

Oh the days as, as they come my way

They all vanish into one

So I paint what love

Yes love of this life

As I watch them fade to grey

Colours of orange, red, black and green

All have me bursting at the seams

And know that every day

Is a dyin' day

And when I feel like I can’t go on

I might need you to carry on

And when I feel the lonely is longing

I might need you to carry on

Said don’t analyse it

Or try to resize it

To make yourself fit in all this bullshit

About what life’s s’posed to

'N what not s’posed to be

You gotta be real cool child

So you won’t be fooled now

And you hold on tight child

And you do us right yes

Know that every day

Is a living day

Know that every day

Is a dying day

Oh and it goes on and on and on and on and on

Yes love, 'cause this life

Is just a song, is just a song

Yeah

And I count my wrongs and multiply them

By the rights to justify just what I feel

What I feel inside

Colors of orange, red black and green

All have me bursting at the seams

And know that every day

Is a dyin' day

Is a living day

Is a dyin' day
