[Verse 1]

Does my hurt precede me with a mind that's weary

Because I want to trust but I can't

Watch the clock move near three

Calm the pace of heart beats

Did I get it wrong again?

[Pre-Chorus]

Cause before I met you

I had time to waste on faith

And now I've found a new dawn

ButI fear the color's changed

[Chorus]

Or not

Cause I'm too color blind

With my heart

Did the sky turn gray

When I looked away

And all the other things I couldn't say

Cause they would all be dead giveaways

So I stay gray

[Verse 2]

So I pull back in wanting

I go cold or something

I guess that's just my M.O

Cause it's safеr to try and the lasso the moon

Than dare to opеn up to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Cause before I knew you

I thought everything would end

Waiting by my phone and

Getting hot takes from my friends

[Chorus]

Shut me down

I'm going color blind to the sound

Did the song change rhythms when

I didn't listen

And all the other things

I could ask

Battling my fears against the facts

So I stay gray

[Bridge]

Gray like the color of letting you decide

And giving up the wheel when it is my turn to drive

I'm hiding in the backseat

Wake me up when we arrive

And as we're turning through the river bend

I want to let the top descend

Wind in my hair and our eyes on the road

Maybe this time we could get close, yeah

Maybe colors require us both

[Pre-Chorus]

And before I told you

I was scared to be myself

But I'd rather paint in gold than try with someone else

[Chorus]

What do you say

Should we keep colors dry from the rain?

Did the song change key or are you singing to me

And all the other things I hope to know

Now I'm learning not to tempt myself to go

Or stay gray

Or stay gray
