I can see the beauty in the mess
It dries up
I've been a riverbed,
I tried to salt the wound
I've carried more than
I can, I feel I've got a lot to prove
Sometimes I feel like
I only dream in black and white
And color's so, oh

and hide your eyes when you're close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
You oughta know that I'm here
no matter where you go
