The Colors Go

Verse I wanna come back to the room I wanna feel the afternoon I wanna say goodbye To the way we touched the sky Verse I wanna put my feet back down I wanna hear the normal sounds I wanna close my eyes On the way the moment flies Chorus Slow it down, I’m slipping through Everything is turning blue Holding tight, but I decide I can’t live inside that high Pull me close, then let me go I don’t need to always know I was good, I was alive When the colors touched the sky Verse I wanna get out of my head I wanna mean the things I said I wanna sleep tonight Without chasing every light Verse I wanna feel the edges fade I wanna keep what we became I don’t wanna fight When the feeling says goodbye Interlude — orchestral swell (warm rise → gentle collapse) Chorus Slow it down, I’m slipping through Everything is turning new Falling back, I realize I don’t need to stay that high Hold me once, then let me go Take the part I’ll never know I was good, I was alive When the colors touched the sky Interlude — blues / warped collage (bent notes, tape wobble, voices stretch) Mantra / Breakdown When the colors go When the colors go When the colors go I still know Beat Drop — chopped vocal “slipping / slipping / letting—” Outro Hold me close, then say goodbye I’ll remember what it’s like I don’t need another sign When the colors go go… go… go…
