y e l l o w Lyrics

Ribbons in oak trees

You fly home to save me

With a bullet in my feet

I felt hope when you held me

A sudden change of scenery

The posters of the masters

To be covered by the ousters

But do you remember how

The street lights screamed yellow

When I told you, "Wherever you go

I'm there too"?

Do you remember how

Our first-date house screamed yellow

The walls in the room, the ceiling, the floor

Even my shirt too?

I lived through every page

Of our story

When the bad news is no news

I turned to you and defused

All the torture and curses

Faded in every words you've ever uttered

After kisses

I could only wonder

How God has bestowed me such a lover

Do you remember how

The streets in daylight screamed yellow

25 Long stitches to fill the crowd

Headlines reel when sentiments mound

And the beatings of the heart

Are too fragile to be dismissed

In arrogance

And I've lived in four houses this year

But the idea of "home" lights up

When you're here

And when the darkness comes

Like a populist speech

I could only sit on the corner

And wonder how I could be my own savior

Nothing ever really lasts forever

All storms stop and all crowns drop

But the echoes of a February mid-day

Lives on

Never forget

Never again

Do you remember?
