The Verve Pipe - Colorful

The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that i have shook
Well they’re reaching for the door

I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
‘Cause I know you will love me either way

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn’t pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime

Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
‘Cause I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see
We’ll live in drama but we’ll die in a comedy

I know I can be colorful
(when you live in black and white)
I know I can be gray
(my colors fade away)
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
‘Cause I know you will love me either way

I know I can be colorful
(when you live in black and white)
I know I can be gray
(my colors fade away)
But I know this loser’s living fortunate
‘Cause I know you will love
‘Cause I know you will love
‘Cause I know you will love me either way
