Songtext Colourblind Tom Misch

Colourblind

I wish that I could fly
'Cause something isn't sitting right
And every time I call, you're fine
But, yes, I know that that's a lie
It's not a big surprise
'Cause you were always spending time
Looking at the other side
Greener on the other side

So I rely on the sun
And try living life as it comes
Pray I will find a way
To blind me from the other side

Yeah, I don't remember where you taught me it, I
The grass is green where you water it
Close your eyes, don't fall for it, yeah
I'm in the sky where my daughter lives
Yeah, who decides the important shit? Shit
Don't pull your fists
Unless you really want all of it
I lost my phone on a fallen cliff
But that's all it is
The more they take, yeah, the more I give
Yeah, I can't give all of it
We wear the same frown
Sitting underneath the same clouds
Picking up our kids from the playground
Ain't it strange how
Who you meet on the way up
The same ones you meet on the way down?
Still, I give it all
Like the leaves in the winter fall
Deep in love is the pillow talk
Yeah, three feet, but you're feeling tall
Promise I come if I hear you call, like

So I rely on the sun
And try living life as it comes
Pray I will find a way
To blind me from the other side
So I rely on the sun
And try living life as it comes
Pray I will find a way
To blind me from the other side

I lay awake and waste my days
Still contemplating the other side
Greener on the other side
I close my eyes and change my sight
So I'm colourblind to the other side
Greener on the other side
I lay awake and waste my days
Still contemplating the other side
Greener on the other side
I close my eyes and change my sight
So I'm colourblind to the other side
Greener on the other side
Greener on the other side
