i hear colours

songs that mention colors. 


the first one is Blur's "Colours." 


Blue is where I want to be
Makes me feel I'm in the sea
Look at all the stars they told me to say
Red's the color when you're dead
It gets there under your head
I don't feel the end, I just want to be

And I know so many things
Oh well I have to sing
There's nothing left to do
And my house is made of bricks
But that's just such a fix
There's nothing I can do

Black is where I want to stay
I think it is in my way
But I won't hurt myself, I'll just let it flow
White is what I was to start
But I don't want to get undone
All my life I've just set everything free

And I know so many things
Oh well I'm just the knee
Puts it on the side
And her house is made of bricks
Oh well it's such a fix
I ain't got nothing now
You'll be bad when everything is slow

and the second one, i only heard it recently. 
come to think of it, it *is* quite "recent" compared to other songs in my library. 
it's Taylor Swift's "Red." 
heard it just a few weeks ago, and it's such a good song! gosh, i think i'm officially a Swiftie.




Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all

Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red

Loving him was red

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
In burning red
Burning, it was red

And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red

His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
