April

I paint a picture and I think of you
I paint your records, one hangs in your room
And it's crazy how it's different being there now
Used to feel out of place
I fit right your arms now

You pick me up on Friday nights
Roll down the windows so my hair doesn't sit right
And it's wild how fast time has gone by
Feels like April was yesterday in my mind

The red stop lights lose their glow
When you take the short way home
And the orange skies up north could only awe me for so long
The yellow that was freshman year
And the green grass that our old school's near
And the blue that I only feel when you're not here
But I could never get over the shades of you
You know I'd never want to
I only want you
Every shade of you

I've never met a single person I feel
So comfortable with in silence it's steel
The way your voice cuts through me like a knife
Feels like April was yesterday in my mind

The red stop lights lose their glow
When you take the short way home
And the orange skies up north could only awe me for so long
The yellow that was freshman year
And the green grass that our old school's near
And the blue that I only feel when you're not here
But I could never get over the shades of you
You know I'd never want to
I only want you
Every shade of you

The red sinking in my cheeks
Anytime that you touch me
And the yellow of the bus where we met
Your backyard where you kissed me first
The three little words that came in a blurb
And the blue that I only feel when you're not here
In a world full of plastic
They're a trend,
But we're a classic
And as they all go in and out of style
I'll wear you again
You know I'll always want to
I only want you
Every shade of you
