Lyrics

Colour by Numbers

When I looked in your eyes

Felt the spirit of man

Demanding more than just a smile

Took a chance for a while

Speaking in tongues

That float us down rivers

The past will remind us

All colours we chose

When I told you those lies

Felt the spirit of love

Demanding more than compromise

Took a chance for a while

Speaking in tongues

That float us down rivers

The past will remind us

All colours we chose

Some people say that the way that we live

Is out of this place

Some people say that the way that we live

Is blinded by fate

All colours we chose

All colours we chose

All colours we chose

All colours we chose

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose (Colours, colours)

All colours we chose
