Colour me In - Damien Rice

You colour me in gold Lips like petals on my throat And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes Paper boats softly float like a song we wrote But summer comes, and summer goes You change your hair, you change your clothes The books you read help you explore The world that you believed in Once before You colour me in gold Kiss the freckles on my nose With those blood-red pomegranate lips Taking sips, hand on hip Your face could launch a thousand ships But winter comes and brings the snow You change your job, you change your home Still reading books about the ghost Of a world you can't believe in anymore And after all, you've been nothing but good to me And the only way that I can pay you back Is to daily seek those distant memories While I'm standing next to you So when springtime comes and blossoms grow Come take my hand, can we expose The hideaways, the hidden doors The stories we believed in, uh-uh-oh The land that we both dreamed in once before Uh-uh-uh-uh You colour me in gold

I'm so frustrated Don't deny it Promised life here But I'm blind here This broken sleep My broken dreaming This numbing feeling Stops me seeing Life in colour World's colliding before me (Colour) Thought I'd never be happy It's time that's the one killing me Life in colour Won't forsake this emotion (Colour) Please accept this devotion Your love never tasted so sweet Time it stops for nothing But to love eternally How could you believe in just a man, just a man Like me With nothing selfish Hmmm have I been selfish in my kindness? Help me find this Sweet forgiveness Life in colour World's colliding before me (Colour) Thought I'd never be happy It's time that's the one killing me. Life in colour Won't forsake this emotion (Colour) Please accept this devotion Your love never tasted so sweet. (Colour) Life in colour (Colour)

Nobody said it was gonna be easy Nobody said it was gonna be easy We used to be robots on the treadmill We used to keep spinning on a hamster wheel Remember, remember, remember We used to dream in black and white Blotting out the sunshine Remember, remember, remember We used to see darkness in the nighttime Now I dream in colour Now I only dream in colour Only colour Now I dream in colour Nobody said it was gonna be easy Now I only dream in colour Nobody said it was gonna be easy We used to be pieces on a chessboard We seem to keep spinning like a broken record Remember, remember, remember We used to dream in black and white Blotting out the sunshine Remember, remember, remember We used to see darkness in the nighttime Now I dream in colour Now I only dream in colour Only colour Now I dream in colour Nobody said it was gonna be easy Now I only dream in colour Nobody said it was gonna be easy Nobody said it was gonna be easy Nobody said it was gonna be easy Nobody said it was gonna be easy

Here we are again Fading light Those gleaming eyes and freckled smile Light up the night Here we are alone My lips on yours The taste of candy and salt drives me for more Tattoo my heart with your ball-point pen Say you love me again and again There will never be an end To this love my dear friend You, colour me You colour my soul Paint me red in places once filled with gold You, colour me You colour my soul Make me dream of things I never did once before Here we are again Tellin' me it's my fault Things I don't understand Things beyond control Here we are alone You resting by my side Those broken glass shatter me and cloud my mind Before you stab my heart with your ball-point pen Say you love me again and again There will never be an end To this love my dear friend You, colour me You colour my soul Paint me red in places once filled with gold You, colour me You colour my soul Made me dream of things I never did once before Lipstick stains on these clothes of mine Hold your scent frozen in time Lipstick stains on these clothes of mine Hold your love frozen in time You, colour me You colour my soul Paint me red in places once filled with gold You, colour me You colour my soul Make me dream of things I never did once before You

I fell for you I got butterflies in my stomach I never thought I would but I love it I never thought I could be with someone I have an attachment to you so how come if I push away and then I shove That you caught my eye just like a glove I never thought I would fall in love Until I saw you in a black dress, looking like an actress A-list like a movie star You can be my atlas, go intergalactic Wishing on a shooting star You can be my madness, we can get disastrous Take you to the loser bar Distract me from my past, and I just want to ask Can you show me who you truly are I saw you in a black dress, actress Cause you A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, galactic I've been wishing on a shooting star Rockstar's don't fall in love (ha) But I fell for you I really did not see it coming Usually I'm the one running Cause I'm always having afflictions But you're my addiction And I can't get rid of you I push away and then I shove That you caught my eye just like a glove I never thought I would fall in love Until I saw you in a black dress, looking like an actress A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, go intergalactic Wishing on a shooting star You can be my madness, we can get disastrous Take you to the loser bar Distract me from my past, and I just want to ask Can you show me who you truly are I saw you in a black dress, actress Cause you A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, galactic I've been wishing on a shooting star Rockstar's don't fall in love But I fell for you

Party girls don't get hurt Can't feel anything, when will I learn? I push it down, I push it down I'm the one "for a good time call" Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell I feel the love, I feel the love 1, 2, 3, - 1, 2, 3, drink 1, 2, 3 - 1, 2, 3, drink 1, 2, 3 - 1, 2, 3, drink Throw 'em back, till I lose count I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist Sun's up, I'm a mess Gotta get out now, gotta run from this Here comes the shame, here comes the shame 1, 2, 3 -1, 2, 3, drink 1, 2, 3 - 1, 2, 3, drink 1, 2, 3 -1, 2, 3, drink Throw 'em back till I lose count I, I wanna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird from the night, feel my tears as they dry I wanna swing from the chandelier, the chandelier But I'm holding on for dear life Won't look down, won't open my eyes I keep my glass full until morning light 'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight Help me, I'm holding on for dear life Won't look down, won't open my eyes I keep my glass full until morning light 'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight 'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight, on for tonight Yes, I'm just holding on for tonight Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight, on for tonight

This has got to die I said this has got to stop This has got to lie down With someone else on top You can keep me pinned 'Cause it's easier to tease But you can't paint an elephant Quite as good as she And she may cry like a baby And she may drive me crazy 'Cause I, I am lately lonely So why'd you have to lie? I take it I'm your crutch The pillow in your pillow case Is easier to touch And when you think you've sinned Do you fall upon your knees? Or do you sit within your picture? Do you still forget the breeze? And she may rise, if I sing you down And she may wisely cling to the ground 'Cause I am lately horny So why would she take me horny? What's the point of this song? Or even singing? You've already gone, why am I clinging? Well I could throw her out, and I could live without And I could do it all for you I could be true Tell me if you want me to lie 'Cause this has got to die I said this has got to stop This has got to lie down, down With someone else on top You can both keep me pinned 'Cause it's easier to tease But you can't make me happy Quite as good as me Well you know that's a lie
