Colorblind

That hunter green you painted on the wall last fall

Looks brighter than it did brand new

I never really noticed it before but the more

I do all I see is you

Your pale yellow throw pillows

Are glowing like the street lights on the road

I can move out, leave this house

But everywhere I go

The blue in your eyes shows up in the sky

So I'm always praying for rain

The red of your lipstick burns in the sunset

Wish it would fade into gray

Maybe goodbye would be easy if I

Could see it in black and white

God, I wish that I

Was color blind

I gotta find a way to dial it down, wash it out

To keep it from reminding me

If only I could filter every shade, every trace

Of you from every memory

I try closing my eyes knowing

It's just a no good short term remedy

'Cause I know when they open

I'm gonna see you in everything

The blue in your eyes shows up in the sky

So I'm always praying for rain

The red of your lipstick burns in the sunset

Wish it would fade into gray

Maybe goodbye would be easy if I

Could see it in black and white

God, I wish that I

Was color blind

Color blind

The blue in your eyes shows up in the sky

So I'm always praying for rain

The red of your lipstick burns in the sunset

Wish it would fade into gray

Maybe goodbye would be easy if I

Could see it in black and white

Yeah, God, I wish that I

Was color blind

That hunter green you painted on the wall last fall

Looks brighter than it did brand new

I never really noticed it before but the more

I do all I see is you
