Written as a love song to someone special, ‘Colourblind’ reflects on the anxiousness that can come with sharing one’s feelings as well as the fear of rejection.
lyrics
Show me your love, crush
I pretend I’m heartless
Immune to your touch
It’s just enough
And if I show you my soul, it’s cold
But you stay close regardless
You’re someone to hold
The walls implode
And when the others go home you stay
And everything’s okay
We talk the morning away
I pretend I say
Yeah you oughta know
That you make me feel
Like I’ve found my place in the world
I don’t know how to say this right
It’s safe to say I’m terrified
It feels like I’ve said it a thousand times
But my tongue is tied
I don’t know how to say this right
Do you feel the same?
Do you feel the same or am I going insane?
Am I making this up again?
You are my fear of falling personified
You are the truest blue that I could hope to find
You are my sense of wonder come to life
Shine in my eyes till I’m colour blind
And you should know that I don’t know how to say this right
Is this the start? Is this the end?
Is this the start or am I losing a friend in the end?
I don’t know how to say this right, I’m terrified
I’m holding an umbrella against a landslide
But it’s alright
You are my fear of falling personified
You are the truest blue that I could hope to find
You are my sense of wonder come to life
Shine in my eyes till I’m colour blind
