The Verve Pipe - Colorful

the show is over close the story book
there will be no encoreand all the random hands that i have shook
well they’re reaching for the door
i watch their backs as they leave single file
but you stood stubborn, cheering all the while


i know i can be colorful
i know i can be gray
but i know this loser’s living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way


most were being good for goodness sake
but you wouldn’t pantomime
you are more beautiful when you awake
than most are in a lifetime
through the haze that is my memory well
you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

i know i can be colorful
i know i can be gray

but i know this loser’s living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way

look ahead as far as you can see
we’ll live in drama but we’ll die in a comedy
i know i can be colorful...
