Kid Harpoon - Colours lyrics

Red is the color of blood when I cut myself And I'm bleeding but that's not a bad thing Red is the color of puppies and sports cars A strong symbol of liveliness Red is the color of the heart that I love you with That I draw for you every time I see you It's the color of stickered up items That you can purchase from most major stores I look to the king, I'm filling in an outline When it strikes me that I don't know what gold is Blue is the color of the ink that I'm writing with Painting pictures of what I'm perceiving Blue is the color of the planet we live upon Even though me, I always thought it was green Blue is a feeling people sing songs about Wrote three chords about when they're feeling down Look to the sky, don't feel blue I'm just happy I'm looking at you I'm swimming in oceans, I'm scaling some trees Effortless it seems, I know where home is No, no, no There is a color that I've never seen before My friends got it inside his mind It must be a completely new color 'Cause there's no possible way to describe it Maybe the color of the spaces between us And the color of brand new ideas It's the color my friends thinking of I've been seeing this color for years I take a deep breath and I return to the king When I realize I know what gold is I'm spiraling backwards through pallets and tones The earth carries them, we are home
