color blind

You're waiting at my door
Catch you peeking through the window
Lovesick underscore
Think you're my new favorite person
Then you grabbed my hand and I
Felt something stirring, new burnings
Logical thoughts erasing
My heart was racing
Like never before

Oh, I was color blind
To hues I'd never find
You brightened up the sky
Like the Fourth of July
From shades of black and white
To rose tinted paradise
When it's just you and I
I feel the butterflies

Take the very first kiss
On a misty island morning
Who knew it'd be like this
Up at 3am still calling
Making love all those summer nights
It was new, so true, we keep rushing
And the heat was rising
Your face red flushing
Clothes on the floor

Oh, I was color blind
To hues I'd never find
You brightened up the sky
Like the Fourth of July
From shades of black and white
To rose tinted paradise
When it's just you and I
I feel the butterflies

We're sitting by the beach
Feel the ocean breeze
An ecstatic static touch
We get into the car
Find the small town bar
But we know that we won't get far
Dream of diamond rings
It's just summer fling
Crestfallen in the spring
Take the earliest flight
To see you tonight
Knocking at your door
We wanted more

Oh, I was color blind
To hues I'd never find
You brightened up the sky
Like the Fourth of July
From shades of black and white
To rose tinted paradise
When it's just you and I
I feel the butterflies

We're speeding through the road
We skipped the reds and amber gold
You take me to the sea
And watch cerulean skies turn old
We count sapphire stars
That twinkle in the midnight fold
You and I, I feel the butterflies
