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

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

On your island, there's no weather warning There's no sudden showers There's no certain powers, no All I wanted was to carry you for aching How I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything All I thought I was worth Was to mend things I saw breaking And how I chased the glory How I wanted to carry you for aching And how I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything You must not be looking You must not be trying like I'm trying I can't always help you But I can listen for the sounds you're making And how I loved your story How I wanted to follow you and paint it And how I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything You must not be looking You must not be trying how I'm trying You must not be looking You must not be trying like I'm trying I can't always help you

There's a funeral procession on the highway Traffic screeches to a halt There's people searching for a better way To live their lives, oh Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say As tears of sadness soak the ground The reaper crept in, took his breath away In the middle of the night, oh We celebrate the lives of the dead It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies We gather 'round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light Searching for the light So please don't come to me on my dying day Just let me go in peace With all the things that I forgot to say Racing through my mind, oh And don't you bury me six feet under ground Just burn my body in a box And let my ashes blow with the wind Out into the night sky We celebrate the lives of the dead It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies We gather 'round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light Searching for the light Searching for the light, oh Searching for the light
