Colby's Song

(album: B-Sides It's Dark Outside - 2006)

Isn't it hard to pretend that there's no feeling
When you're alone on sunny days
Just give me hope there's some light inside your own engine
Some mechanism, still the same

Would you be sad if it was raining down
And the only way to float was to smile
Would you be mad if I hung around
We talked like we used to for a while

And you said how things have changed
They got rearranged
You can't tell your left side from your right
And how I'm to blame
For your burning shame
Just hang your head low down tonight
Oh my brother, it's gonna be alright

If I could change to maybe save just a breath or two
I would leave it all behind
If I could see you smile on the morning day
Maybe there would still be time

Would you be sad if the world were round
And the only way to live was to sing
Would you be mad if I hung around
We shared some of our stories or our tales

And I said how things have changed
They got rearranged
I miss you like the night-time misses day

And I held you through the hell and cold
I held you through the storm

Oh my brother there's so much more
Outside this storm
It's sometimes hell
But this means war
Don't give up now
Just past a shroud
There's a light ahead
Go through the clouds

Just show me love
Just show me love
Just show me love
Just show me love

Would you be mad if the world were lies
And the only way to live was to love
Would you mad if I was by your side
And I tried, I tried to help you up
And you said nothing's changed
I'm still the same
I just got confused for a while
But I still care
I still wanna share
All of our stories for a while

Oh my brother
It's good to see you smile
