Lyrics

Colour Your Ways

C'mon man we got nothing on our time
Throw your ties away untuck your life
Cause I've had my head in the sand
And it feels like waiting
I want my head in the clouds
If the clouds ain't raining

Life ain't beige so colour your days
See it in the right light
Stop waiting go vacate
And see it in the right light
You gotta see it in the right light

Throw it out if you feel like you've got time
Pick it up if there's something on your mind
I've had my head in the sand for a while now lately
Do I want my head in the clouds if the clouds is raining?

I won't tell anyone baby if
You wanna frown
Just don't ever say maybe
Cos I want you around

Life ain't beige so colour your days
See it in the right light
Stop waiting go vacate
And see it in the right light
You gotta see it in the right light
