Colors Utada Hikaru

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
