The New Colour Lyrics

Oh, put on your dancing shoes

And I burned slow, like the bricks and mortar of a house I used to know

When I was young, yeah

And when that house burned down, no, I didn't even make a sound

Cause I'm a mess of good intentions held together by a string of courtesy

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

And I'll try so hard to be the person that I know I should be, I could be

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But I'm crawling in your bed, cause this is the only way you'd ever have me

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But it's the price that I will pay, so that I know you're still okay

And I grew cold, like the snows of November when you know you shouldn't leave home

When I was young, yeah

And then time took a knife to my face and carved away

Cause I'm a mess of good intentions held together by a string of courtesy

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

And I'll try so hard to be the person that I know I should be, I could be

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But I'm crawling in your bed, cause this is the only way you'll ever have me

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But it's the price that we all pay, so we know we're still okay

I'll put it all in perspective, but perspective can change

Like those 45s your grandma was singing to you again

Again, again, again…

Cause I'm a mess of good intentions held together by a string of courtesy

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

And I'll try so hard to be the person that I know I should be, I could be

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But I'm crawling in your bed, cause this is the only way you'll ever have me

(I'm so tired, I'm so tired)

But it's the price that I will pay, so that I'll look at myself again
