Ultra-Violet Archer - Color by Number Lyrics

This world's bigger than you
The variations never seem to shrink
But our lives are watered down like lemonade
Color-wheel spins but we choose only one shade

If I'm alive I want them all
Every color painted on my wall
Give that lemonade some flavor
I don't have time to keep my world so small

If you know just where you'll be next year
Time to rethink the path you're on my dear
They might say theres always tolls to pay
But peace of mind is worth much more than some cliché

You've got the parts so make it whole
Mandela knew it was true
You're the captain of your soul
Time is your currency, don't waste it
Don't save it either, it's gone when you grow old

All that aside now
Sometimes the rain overflows your drink
Days stretch so long now
Or every day's gone in a blink
All that aside now
Blue has its place on that color-wheel
She's on your side now
Look in her eyes, turquoise and teal

Oh to breathe in another city's air
Familiarly foreign, like smoke in my hair
Emotions shaded, demonstrated
Color-by-number me but I'll never be degraded

Zoom out and synch up
Meld your molecules with mine before we wake up
Turns out the world's not such a serious place
Politics and rock n roll, it's all just made up

All that aside now
Sometimes the rain overflows your drink
Days stretch so long now
Or every day's gone in a blink

I don't want your color-by-number
Watch your mouth sir, you're going under
I don't want your color-by-number
