Man this song has so much feeling and emotion. It is definitely one of my faves and the live version is the best.
I worry about the image reflected in the mirror
And in no time at all, I've picked up speed
When you're told you can go anywhere you want
Then your wishes are half-hearted and even the signposts are grey
You paint the lights, the dreams you're having tonight
Hasn't your brush dried up yet?
If you can't see the blue sky, put up a blue umbrella
That'll do right? The canvas is yours
A white flag is something you only hold up when you've given up
Now I'm waving a red flag, like a matador
The colors faded under the fluorescent lights
And on that black and white chess board, I met you
We hesitated for a moment and then snuggled together
It's been a month then, do you remember?
Just watching the orange sunset by your side was enough for me
But the mouth causes catastrophes
Black clothes are something you only wear when you're praying for the dead
I've deliberately left bright red traces of blusher on
If you say the only pictures you can paint now are dreamless
Then paint i out on the canvas, as many times as it takes
A white flag is something you only hold up when you've given up
Now I am a color you don't know

*Hug* Cause you need one
I can't imagine how much hurt and pain and just sadness you're in, for the past 2 weeks. I'm really sorry you didn't get into some/most ivy league schools that you wanted to go for. You must feel like completely crap >< and that's really understandable. You slave and work and sweat and homework and slave some more over everything you do like homework and work and friends and drama and that dreadful B+ in calc. And you ask yourself if I could do better. I am 1000000% positive that you gave it your best and nobody could ever realize that just that small bit of more effort would've gotten you into this school, you realize if everybody knew their future and consequences everybody would have a great life. My point is, you tried your best, you tried your hardest and beyond submitting the apps, there was nothing you can do anymore. It was like letting a small bird leave the nest and it was time to fly. You must've thought of all the mistakes you made and all the things you did wrong and all the things you could've improved on to make it and how your best wasn't your best and your best just wasn't good enough. Please, you're not that bad as you think you are. In fact you're not bad at all. You're the best of the best even if you say you aren't. I think that people just don't see it and it's impossible to judge someone through just plain words. This will go down as the day that some Ivy league schools have LOST a great student and a great person to their academia.
