Lyrics
The Colors In The Gray
Verse 1
You drew lines
through the city blocks.
Said they’d take us somewhere real.
And all that time
ticked off the clock
And now real is all I feel
Chorus
In the hum of the crowd,
I can sometimes hear
the sound of your voice.
And even now
My mind interferes
But my heart still has no choice
Verse 2
You were light
when the streets went dark.
Didn’t stay,
but you left your mark.
Promises washed out in the rain.
Facing it all, day by day
Chorus
In the hum of the crowd,
I can sometimes hear
the sound of your voice.
And even now
My mind interferes
But my heart still has no choice
Bridge
Believing you
Was so easy to do
I wanted it in the same way
Even now
I can still make out
The colors in the gray
Still see the colors in the gray,
Ooohhh
Chorus
In the hum of the crowd,
I can sometimes hear
the sound of your voice.
And even now
My mind interferes
But my heart still has no choice
Final Chorus
Still see the colors in the gray
And the sound, it stays the same.
In my mind — too tired to know.
Some go away, some don’t let go
