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
