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 glowin' like the street lights on the road

I can move out, leave this house

But everywhere I go

The blue in your eye shows up in the sky

So I'm always prayin' 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 colorblind

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 closin' my eyes knowin'

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 eye shows up in the sky

So I'm always prayin' 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 colorblind

Colorblind

The blue in your eye shows up in the sky

So I'm always prayin' 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 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
