Colours Lyrics - Singles - Kid Harpoon

Red is the color of blood when I cut myself 

And I'm bleeding but that's not a bad thing 

Red is the color of puppies and sports cars 

A strong symbol of liveliness 

Red is the color of the heart that I love you with 

That I draw for you every time I see you 

It's the color of stickered up items 

That you can purchase from most major stores 

I look to the king, I'm filling in an outline 

When it strikes me that I don't know what gold is 

Blue is the color of the ink that I'm writing with 

Painting pictures of what I'm perceiving 

Blue is the color of the planet we live upon 

Even though me, I always thought it was green 

Blue is a feeling people sing songs about 

Wrote three chords about when they're feeling down 

Look to the sky, don't feel blue 

I'm just happy I'm looking at you 

I'm swimming in oceans, I'm scaling some trees 

Effortless it seems, I know where home is 

No, no, no 

There is a color that I've never seen before 

My friends got it inside his mind 

It must be a completely new color 

'Cause there's no possible way to describe it 

Maybe the color of the spaces between us 

And the color of brand new ideas 

It's the color my friends thinking of 

I've been seeing this color for years 

I take a deep breath and I return to the king 

When I realize I know what gold is 

I'm spiraling backwards through pallets and tones 

The earth carries them, we are home
