Colours was written between myself, Ross MacDonald (The 1975) and songwriter/producer Ed Thomas. It takes the piss out of drunken calls to your ex. The mid section hits like a sudden wave of regret that you’d feel the morning after, until inevitably you get drunk again and your cares are thrown back out the window.
I also wanted the song itself to sound and move like a London night bus journey on the top deck. Certain elements come in and out like the characters you encounter.
Lyrics -
Now I’m lost outside alone
I wish I had known better than to call
And to leave you alone
Wish I could hear you whisper through my phone
Now I’m just a drunken mess at home
Do you need me at all?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Why don’t you
Wanna wake up
And tell me that I can come through
Why don’t you
Wanna find out
The colours I can paint in your room.
I can taste it in my soul
Intoxicated tongue that tells it all
With the confidence to call
Do you need some company?
Mellow yellow shade in front of me
That brings me to my knees
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Maybe I can come and get it?
Why don’t you
Wanna wake up
And tell me that I can come through
Why don’t you
Wanna find out
The colours I can paint in your room.
You already know where to find me
You already know where to find me
Why don’t you
Wanna wake up
And tell me that I can come through
(You already know where to find me)
Why don’t you
Wanna find out
The colours I can paint in your room.
(You already know where to find me)
