Colours

Since I can remember
I've always loved September
And the way the colours promise something better, oh
Since I can recall
I've always loved the fight, the running up the mountain
Just to see the final curtain call
And when the nighttime came
I always hid away
Just to protect myself from incidental pain

But you brought the colours back
Before, it was white and black
I was a stone beneath the current
You were the storm that carried me up to the surface
Brought me into a world I felt worth it
Like I earned it, I deserved it
And you said to me that this is how it's meant to be

Since I can remember
I was digging holes out in the backyard
Just in case they left without saying goodbye
Since I can recall
I've been jumping ships out in the oceanfront
Scared I wasn't good enough for them all
And when the nighttime came
I always hid away
Just to protect myself from incidental shame

But you brought the colours back
Before, it was white and black
I was a stone beneath the current
You were the storm that carried me up to the surface
Brought me into a world I felt worth it
Like I earned it, I deserved it
And you said to me that this is how it's meant to be

I was empty, so incomplete
You showed me that I was everything that I need
I was empty, so incomplete
You showed me I was everything that I need
(Yeah, oh)
I was everything that I need

Since I can remember
I've always loved September
And the way the colours promise something better, oh
Since I can recall
I've always loved the fight, the running up the mountain
Just to see the final curtain call
