lyrics

FAVORITE COLOR
YOU WERE MY FAVORITE COLOR
FAVORITE COLOR
YOU WERE MY FAVORITE COLOR
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE
(AND FADED TO GRAY)

[Intro]

YOU PAINTED ME LIKE AN ARTIST WOULD
ACRYLIC STAINS ON BALSA WOOD
DROPS OF INK IN PAPER HANDS
SACRIFICE WHAT COMPOSITION COMMANDS

CALL ME LUMINESCENCE
CALL ME LOVE
CALL ME EVERYTHING
AND JUST ENOUGH
UNTIL MY COLOR GOES AND DRIPS AWAY
THEN WON'T YOU DRAW ME NEAR TO SAY

[Chorus]

IN A LANDSCAPE I WOULDA NEVER DRAWN
TREES LOSE THEIR LEAVES INTO CANVAS PALMS
SUNS SET ON TO ORANGE EYES
AND BLUE RIVERS RUN WITH COLD GOODBYES

A FRACTURE IN YOUR FRAME
I’M HANGING ON
WE BLENT PERSPECTIVES
NOW YOU’RE FAR AND GONE
WHEN MY COLOR WENT
AND DRIPPED AWAY
WHY DIDN’T YOU DRAW ME
NEAR TO SAY

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]
