Paint Colors
Colorful Memories: A Poetic Journey of Reflection and Change
Lyrics
Did you pick out your paint colors yet
Asking if the person has chosen paint colors for their space.
Or are your walls still that ugly red
Expressing distaste for the current color of the walls.
The other day I saw a nice shade of blue
Noticing a beautiful shade of blue and associating it with thoughts of the person.
And I closed my eyes and I thought of you
Imagining the person in connection with the mentioned shade of blue.
Did you ever get that problem fixed on your car
Inquiring about a car issue encountered during a previous encounter.
Cause the last time I saw you it wouldn’t drive very far
Recalling a past instance where the person's car had problems.
I saw they closed your favorite restaurant downtown
Noting the closure of a favored downtown restaurant.
So on Saturday nights where do you go now
Curious about where the person goes on Saturday nights now.
There’s so much to catch up on
Highlighting a need to catch up on various aspects of life.
If you’re willing to talk
Openness to conversation and catching up.
I’m always willing to talk to you
Expressing a willingness to talk to the person.
And talking's all we’ll do
Emphasizing that talking is the main activity during their interactions.
There’s so much to catch up on
Reiterating the need to catch up on various aspects of life.
If you’re willing to chat
Openness to casual conversation.
I’m always willing to chat with you
Expressing a willingness to chat and connect.
And get to know the person that I thought I knew
Desire to understand and rediscover the person.
Did you pick out your paint colors yet
Repetition of the inquiry about paint colors.
Or are your walls still that ugly red
Reiteration of distaste for the current wall color.
I hope you took my advice of drawing murals all around
Hoping the person followed advice to draw murals in response to noisy neighbors.
To get back at those neighbors that told you to keep it down
Recalling a past conflict with neighbors and suggesting a creative retaliation.
Did you say all the things you’ve been meaning to say
Asking if the person expressed their feelings or ran away from confrontation.
Or did you do what you always do and just ran away
Highlighting a tendency to avoid difficult situations.
'Cause we were full of sun and then you filled me with thunder
Recalling a time of happiness followed by emotional turbulence.
Are you ignoring my calls or did you just change your number
Questioning whether the person is avoiding contact.
There’s so much to catch up on
Reiterating the need to catch up on various aspects of life.
If you’re willing to talk
Openness to conversation and catching up.
I’m always willing to talk to you
Expressing a willingness to talk to the person.
And talking's all we’ll do
Emphasizing that talking is the main activity during their interactions.
There’s so much to catch up on
Reiterating the need to catch up on various aspects of life.
If you’re willing to chat
Openness to casual conversation.
I’m always willing to chat with you
Expressing a willingness to chat and connect.
And get to know the person that I thought I knew
Desire to understand and rediscover the person.
Did you pick out your paint colors yet
Repetition of the inquiry about paint colors.
Or are your walls still that ugly red
Reiteration of distaste for the current wall color.
The other day I saw a nice shade of blue
Repeating the mention of a nice shade of blue and caring for the person.
Just because I care it doesn’t mean I’m not over you
Asserting that caring does not mean being emotionally attached.
