Colors and the Kids lyrics

It must be the colors

And the kids

That keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors

And the kids that keep me alive

'Cause I wanna go ride away

To a January night

Built a shack with an old friend

He was someone I could learn from

Someone I could become

Will you meet me down

On a sandy beach

We can roll up our jeans

So the tide won't get us below the knees

Yellow hair

You are a funny bear

Yellow hair

You are such a funny bear

Slender fingers

Would hold me slender limbs would hold me

And you could say my name

Like you knew my name

I could stay here

Become someone different

I could stay here

Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city

'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody

It's so hard to go into the city

'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody

When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky

Now all we wanna do is go to red places

And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors

And the kids

That keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

it must just be the colors

And it must just be the kids

That keep me alive on this January night.

Yellow hair

You are a funny bear

Yellow hair

You are such a funny bear
