dylan owen & abstract - true colors lyrics

[intro: dylan owen]
true colors

[verse 1: abstract]
yeah
felt the blues ’til they went and turned my vision red
held my breath ’til i was purple, hoping what you said
would coincide; ride or die, you should have specified
riding while the vibe was high and left for dead in trying times
settled for less than i deserved; i always knew it, sure
but seeing all the best in people’s something that i need to cure
something that i thought i learned every time i felt the burn
love collecting wisdom but the cost is more than what i earned
painted every red flag green ’til it turned me blue
moving onto better days and skies to shine a better hue
wishing that you could have seen the colors that i painted you
silver lining shined in every flaw like you would never do
version that you never knew
thought that’s how you saw me too, ooh
so i’ll confess it in the booth
i know my kind of heart is part of very few
assigned you all these colors, it’s a shame that they were never true

[chorus: dylan owen]
i wanna see your true colors
when it gets dark, we’ll be bright for each other
we all turn silver and gold
i wanna see your true colors now that we’re getting old, i’m saying
i wanna see your true colors
when it gets dark, we’ll be bright for each other
we all turn silver and gold
i wanna see your true colors now that we’re getting old
[verse 2: dylan owen]
we took a road trip rolling stone souls, west coast bound
woke up new in america’s last home town
with the smoke from the socal mountains hitting the dust
silver and gold, highway 101
we made it to bixby bridge, i thought about jumping off
got white flags in my memory that get stuck in my thoughts
but you are not lost, you are just misplaced on one map
so f+ck that
i would rather take every photo like it’s my last roll of film
find a pocket knife, carve out my own free will
savor the pink moments and sunsets with no name
you don’t get a purple heart for the inner conflicts you’ve faced
i am no historian, i just write it honestly
the rocky parts of life made me appreciate geology
the way the faces of the cliffs have sad expressions like ours
with their scabs and scars
“we are all mourning the passage of lost time,” she said
it took an indigo child to demystify my death
as i kissed her forehead under cotton candy skies
i looked directly into her brown eyes and i said

[chorus: dylan owen]
i wanna see your true colors
when it gets dark, we’ll be bright for each other
we all turn silver and gold
i wanna see your true colors now that we’re getting old
i wanna see your true colors
when it gets dark, we’ll be bright for each other
we all turn silver and gold
i wanna see your true colors now that we’re getting old
[outro: dylan owen]
so if you get old before i do
promise me you’ll let your true colors shine through
nothing gold can stay, and our smiles sure fade
hope you see the silver lining when your hair turns gray
so if you get old before i do
promise me you’ll let your true colors shine through
nothing gold can stay, and our smiles sure fade
hope you see the silver lining when your hair turns gray
so if you get old before i do
promise me you’ll let your true colors shine through
nothing gold can stay, and our smiles sure fade
hope you see the silver lining when your hair turns gray someday
