Colorblind

How do you define color to someone who's blind?
How would you explain the red of blood without some pain?
I know it's nothing new to you, to see these hues, but to me these pinks and blues are something new
There was a time I thought you could explain the magic in the sky when the sun hits the rain
But when you've never seen the sky, blue is just another word for when you'd rather die
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
Darlin', I apologize for all the nights I made you cry trying to make you describe the Northern Lights
You used to tell me that I only see in black and white
I used to get so mad, but now I know that baby, you were right
But you don't seem to realize that I never got the chance to see the color of your eyes
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color
I was colorblind
Now I see in color

Castaway

Thought I would save somebody
I guess I'll wait for another day
These emotions are an ocean, I think I'm drowning, babe
And I'm lost and sure to sink under these pounding waves
And it feels like I've been out here for a thousand days
But I know salvation is just beyond this cloudy haze
All I want to see is a familiar face
All I want to feel is a friend's embrace
But on my darkest days it seems my fate is to just replay all my mistakes
Thought I'd be the one to save somebody
Thought I'd be the hero of this story
I was so mistaken
It was me who needed saving
I thought I could save somebody
I guess I'll wait for another day
I don't know when I'll be home
But I know for now I'm just a castaway
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
On the stormy sea I try to keep the pace
I know if I give up I'll surely be erased
If I return empty-handed I will be disgraced
If I remain forever stranded perhaps it is my place
All I want to be for you is someone great
Show you the way and give you faith
This wide open space is an endless maze
Just relentless waves that I can't escape
Thought I'd be the one to save somebody
Thought I'd be the hero of this story
I was so mistaken
I guess I'll keep waiting
I thought I could save somebody
I guess I'll wait for another day
I don't know when I'll be home
But I know for now I'm just a castaway
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Anybody

You'll Leave a Trace

I feel like I'm living two different lives every night
In one, everything goes wrong, but then then other goes right
Therefore I'm torn inside
For every decision when I have to choose
The more that I'm winning the more that I lose
That's the price of being on the move
Maybe I was born to lose you
Baby, I wonder when I look into your eyes
If I'll even be able to say goodbye
But I'm afraid we'll have to try
Cuz babe, I gotta fly
I wrote you a love song, but it made you cry
Can't say that came as a surprise
But it's the only way to show how I feel inside
So here goes
Hey it'll be ok
If it's meant to be we'll find it out someday
Please believe I wanna stay
You mean much more to me than just your face
You'll leave a trace
When I hold you I'll treat it like the last time
Even if we have the rest of our lives
I should've told you about the conflict between my sides
When one is dying the other thrives
And I've been asking since I was five
"When I love something why's it have to die?"
Now I know why
Now I know why
Now I know why
But please don't cry
But please don't cry
Just give me a try
As I say
Hey it'll be ok
Down the road when we've both gone our separate ways
When our stars align and we look into space
Just know that what we shared can't be erased
You'll leave a trace
Here I go

(Never) Dead to Me

Some nights when I'm alone I miss our old home
And I'm not scared but I can feel you there
The faint smell of cigarettes and sandalwood
And I swear I saw your silhouette in the candlelight this time
But I can wait to see your face
When you hear how I sing all the things I never found a way to say
But you knew them all anyway
Yes I know you didn't mean the petty things you said to me
When you were in a shitty place, it's ok
'Cuz I know they're true either way
I wish I'd known just what to say now that you're gone
On sunny days I see your ghost
But its your voice I miss the most
I wish I'd known a different way to make time go slow
It's sunny days that hurt the most
I pray for rain so I can grow
Here we are ten years gone
All that's left are tears and songs
Now I know how I was wrong
I acted like you died, that's not right, you really just moved on
And you're not to blame
Because my shame got in the way of realizing it was me who died
But it's your ghost that reminds me I'm still alive
I wish I'd known just what to say now that you're gone
On sunny days I see your ghost
But it's your voice I miss the most
I wish I'd known a different way to make time go slow
It's sunny days that hurt the most
I pray for rain so I can grow
You should've known it's not what you've said but what you've shown
Please know you're never dead to me
And I'll remember everything you said to me
