Simply put, all purity was hung away on that day, see

My curiosity had gotten the best of me

Was sweeter than a cake, but it wasn't filling

Like dancing with a puppet, so cold and empty

Closet doors shut behind us

Huddling, our bodies hidden in the darkness

We’ll sleep the night off, and change when light comes

Or so I like to say

"I'm just a child, I can't help it!

Don’t go please, oh please, I'm begging!"

I'm so pathetic— A life built on selfish cries

All the toys were put away, I swear I'll change this time

Still I crawl for when I wore Innocence like before

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Love's a high, sober up, you'll throw it all away

I've laid to waste all those feelings just to stay safe

But see this low-life now, still stuck in his ways

I wonder if there's a summer where I’ll really change

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Uh oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Oh)

Simply put, his flesh was weak, and curiosity’s deadly

Figured just a taste, but he ate too much, see

The nature of a beast is that it's always hungry

Go ahead and eat, I’ll be more than happy

Closet doors shut behind me

Huddled in the dark, on my heart, I'm swearing

Ive had enough now

I'll stop it somehow, I'll change (Yeah)

You try to find your worth and

Time and time again, you find you’re nothing

Hear the second hand, and feel it burning

The sky is upside down, Am I in hell or am I

In the Devil's mouth? I'm all turned around now

"Carved into my brain, I can't forget the shade that stained my window"

I'm so, so sick of that light that won't stop shining YELLOW

(Woo!)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Uh oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Uh oh)

YELLOW, YELLOW

YELLOW, YELLOW (Oh)

Cry all you want, deep down you know

You'll never ever get away

You swear to change, but you're lying to your own face

Fight all you want, deep down you know

You'll never ever get away

Stuck in that hot summer day

Love's a high, sober up, you'll throw it all away

I've laid to waste all those feelings just to stay safe

But see this low-life now, still stuck in his ways

I wonder if there's a summer where I'll really change
