Gray

Does my hurt precede me with a mind that's weary
Because I want to trust but I can't
Watch the clock move near three
Calm the pace of heart beats
Did I get it wrong again

Cause before I met you
I had time to waste on faith
And now I've found a new dawn
ButI fear the color's changed
Or not
Cause I'm too color blind
With my heart
Did the sky turn gray
When I looked away
And all the other things I couldn't say
Cause they would all be dead giveaways
So I stay gray

So I pull back in wanting
I go cold or something
I guess that's just my M.O
Cause it's safer to try and the lasso the moon
Than dare to open up to you

Cause before I knew you
I thought everything would end
Waiting by my phone and
Getting hot takes from my friends
Shut me down
I'm going color blind to the sound
Did the song change rhythms when I didn't listen
And all the other things I could ask
Battling my fears against the facts
So I stay gray

Gray like the color of letting you decide
And giving up the wheel when it is my turn to drive
I'm hiding in the backseat
Wake me up when we arrive

And as we're turning through the river bend
I want to let the top descend
Wind in my hair and our eyes on the road
Maybe this time we could get close
Maybe colors require us both

And before I told you I was scared to be myself
But I'd rather paint in gold than try with someone else
What do you say
Should we keep colors dry from the rain?

Did the song change key or are you singing to me
And all the other things I hope to know
Now I'm learning not to tempt myself to go
Or stay gray
Or stay gray
