Colored
I'm on the outside
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in
But why did you choose such somber blues?
See, I'm sad, but these laughs keep breaking through
Would I be a bother if I asked you to use
A little highlight
A bit of lilac amidst the black?
But I'm on the outside
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in as you deem fit
Damn the ones my mama picked for me
Yeah, you've colored me in
My love, you're smothering it
And who did the red so deep?
Yeah, I'm so much more head than feet
See, I like to let my mind wander
And I ponder before I speak
And where is all the green?
Like the shade of a coconut tree
With its water for my thirst
The flesh to bless this curse
And see if you could make it up in those leaves
Yeah, well, mama said you'd find your way above anything
But I'm on the outside
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in as you deem fit
Yeah, damn the ones my mama picked for me
Yeah, you've colored me in
My love, yeah, you're smothering it
Yeah, you've colored me in
Yeah, you've colored me in
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in
But why did you choose such somber blues?
See, I'm sad, but these laughs keep breaking through
Would I be a bother if I asked you to use
A little highlight
A bit of lilac amidst the black?
But I'm on the outside
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in as you deem fit
Damn the ones my mama picked for me
Yeah, you've colored me in
My love, you're smothering it
And who did the red so deep?
Yeah, I'm so much more head than feet
See, I like to let my mind wander
And I ponder before I speak
And where is all the green?
Like the shade of a coconut tree
With its water for my thirst
The flesh to bless this curse
And see if you could make it up in those leaves
Yeah, well, mama said you'd find your way above anything
But I'm on the outside
I'm just an outline
You've colored me in as you deem fit
Yeah, damn the ones my mama picked for me
Yeah, you've colored me in
My love, yeah, you're smothering it
Yeah, you've colored me in
Yeah, you've colored me in
