EP: "Will You Wait For Me" (2015)

Set It Right lyrics - The Colourist

Stand up, you've got this chance to run
One shot, show those kids that they were wrong
Give up the fears that you keep inside
You set it right, you set it right there and all

Don't you forget, now, that you're strong
Those dreams don't sit right bottled up, bottled up
And so you go out, and hear in your head
"It's all right, it's all right"
Soar up and hear them go "whoa"
Ooh, set it right, set it right
Ooh, set it right, set it right

Stand up and hold your hands out wide
Soak up the courage that you'll need tonight
Breathe in and kiss them all goodbye
You set it right, you set it right there and all

Don't you forget, now, that you're strong
Those dreams don't sit right bottled up, bottled up
And so you go out, and hear in your head
"It's all right, it's all right"
Soar up and hear them go "whoa"
Ooh, set it right, set it right
Ooh, set it right, set it right

And when you're feeling small
You know your heart is true
And it's enough to lift you
And when you think you'll fall
You feel your weightless shoes
The ground will rise to meet you

And when you're feeling small
You know your heart is true
And it's enough to lift you
And when you think you'll fall
You feel your weightless shoes
The ground will rise to meet you

Don't you forget, now, that you're strong
Those dreams don't sit right bottled up, bottled up
And so you go out, and hear in your head
"It's all right, it's all right"
Soar up and hear them go "whoa"
Ooh, set it right, set it right
Ooh, set it right, set it right

When I'm Away lyrics - The Colourist

Living's too short, you are the watch while time is ticking
I forgot how fast we move, let's be efficient
Before I've got to go
Before I've got to go

And when I get back, we'll make up all the time that we've been missing
If you're in a slump, you better fix that posture, won't be long
Before I've got to go
Before I've got to go

You better wait, better wait, better wait for me
You better wait, better wait, better wait for me

When I'm away, you'll be all I ever think about
When I come home, you'll be all I ever talk about
When I'm away, you'll sing this song as you think of me
When I'm away, I'm away, will you wait for me?

If you believe, if you believe, if you believe then show
Don't be afraid, I'm more than a shot in the dark
But baby I've got to know
Before I've got to go

If you believe, if you believe, if you believe then show
Don't be short-sighted, blindsided, before I get up, get up and go
Cause I've got to know
Before I've got to go

You better wait, better wait, better wait for me
You better wait, better wait, better wait for me

When I'm away, you'll be all I ever think about
When I come home, you'll be all I ever talk about
When I'm away, you'll sing this song as you think of me
When I'm away, I'm away, will you wait for me?

Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?

When I'm away, you'll be all I ever think about
When I come home, you'll be all I ever talk about
When I'm away, you'll sing this song as you think of me
When I'm away, I'm away, will you wait for me?
[x3]

Romancing lyrics - The Colourist

We believe that you run through the middle of the nig-ight
I'll paint a picture of whatever you li-ike
This painted fog is it to rise sli-ah-ight?

Grab your shoes just before I'll leave it up to you
We could kiss in the rain or go a part of me too
Wonder round with friends till the morning should
I don't mind that as long as I'm with you

Grab my hand, we could dance, we could stir up the crowd
Laugh with friends on this, I don't care when or how
Just as long as you're here, just as long as you're here
And as long as I'm with you

I flow so fast, I'm still waking up with thoughts
Of lust, I really felt like a trip
When we woke up remember how we stayed up and danced the night away

Grab the shoes just before I'll leave it up to you
We could kiss in the rain or go a part of me too
Wonder round with friends till the morning should
I don't mind that as long as I'm with you

Grab my hand, we could dance, we could stir up the crowd
Laugh with friends on this, I don't care when or how
Just as long as you're here, just as long as you're here
And as long as I'm with you

Don't need the path, when I'm with you I feel so fast
The trees in us like the forest is fighting for us
And I don't care if I don't sleep at all
My eyes are wide when I am with you
I'm feeling love, feel we're winning it all
Is there a chance that we're taking it all
Tonight I'm believing it all.
As long as I'm with you

Grab my hand, we could dance, we could stir up the crowd
Laugh with friends on this, I don't care when or how
Just as long as you're here, just as long as you're here
And as long as I'm with you

Time Waster lyrics - The Colourist

So lost and looking back
Overwhelmed with what we had
Now it's gone way too fast
The future has become the past

I'm through with you
Disconnected truth
I thought that I'd never give you up
Why would I stay pretending that we're okay?
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

I'm no longer what you wanted
And I've learned nothing from it
I'm no longer what you wanted
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

Careful plans, look where we're at
The hope we had, you cut in half
Get back up and take a chance
They stole our dreams, we took them back

You hid your face, gave us all a taste
The clocks all ran faster than we thought
Starry eyes been out before I turned king
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

I'm no longer what you wanted
And I've learned nothing from it
I'm no longer what you wanted
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

Never gonna be anything that you wanted
Never had a thrill, never gonna feel this way
Never gonna be anything that you wanted
Never had a thrill, never gonna feel this way again
Never gonna be anything that you wanted
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

I'm no longer what you wanted
And I've learned nothing from it
I'm no longer what you wanted
Time wasted and I'm never looking back

I'm no longer what you wanted
I'm no longer what you wanted

Little Games lyrics - The Colourist

I saw you messin' around
We were down, the times were rough
But was the light that you found
On the other side enough?

What did I do so wrong?
You lied and led me on
Was I your hit and run?
Left for dead and now you're gone

Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again

We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games

Holdin' in so much you could drown
When you knew that times were tough
But I've had enough with you down
With your hands facing up

What did I do so wrong?
You lied and led me on
Was I your hit and run?
Left for dead and now you're gone

Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again

We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games

With all these little games

I feel you far, too far away
Would you need to, need to stay

I'm feeling far away (So far from seeing)
Why would you even stay? (You're so deceiving)
I'm feeling far away (So far from seeing)
Why would you even stay?

Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again

We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games

Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again

We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games

With all these little games

Wishing Wells lyrics - The Colourist

Let’s start this world
Let’s leave this town
Let’s pack our bags and head for the hills
I can see it now
I can’t tell you how
‘til the sun goes down
but I can feel it in my roots
That it’s all clear now

They keep on tugging and tugging this rope
Let it all fall out
I’m leaving on a spot of goodluck, spot of goodluck
You can’t stop me now

I found the beat to your heart
And I’ve been dancing to it night and day
We’ve already gone this far
So let’s take it to the next day

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if
Just follow what you’re feeling for
If you don’t know what you’re looking for
Just follow what you feel, Just follow what you feel

Let’s take a walk
Down this empty street
Well, the ones was light but now that it’s not
It’s just you and me

Don’t listen to a word that you’ve been told
‘cause I can tell you too
We’ll leave into a land of wishing wells, land of wishing wells
token for two

I found the beat to your heart
And I’ve been dancing to it night and day
We’ve already gone this far
So let’s take it to the next day

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if
Just follow what you’re feeling for
If you don’t know what you’re looking for
Just follow what you feel, Just follow what you feel

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if
Just follow what you’re feeling for
If you don’t know what you’re looking for
Just follow what you feel, Just follow what you feel

I don’t, I don’t know you very well
Soon I’ll found out who you really are

I don’t, I don’t know you very well
Soon I’ll found out who you really are

I don’t, I don’t know you very well
Soon I’ll found out who you really are

I don’t, I don’t know you very well
Soon I’ll found out who you really are

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if
Just follow what you’re feeling for
If you don’t know what you’re looking for
Just follow what you feel, Just follow what you feel

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if
Just follow what you’re feeling for
If you don’t know what you’re looking for
Just follow what you feel, Just follow what you feel

I’m sick of hearing what if, what if

We Won't Go Home lyrics - The Colourist

Maybe they'll find us some day
Maybe they won't
And maybe we'll turn out okay
It may be too late

I said "Hey, where are you going?"
Well I don't know
but truly you can see
we're moving way too slow

I said, "Hey, where are you going?"
Oh maybe we can find a way
I don't know
but you can't stay here

We won't go home
We won't go [x2]

These pictures they make it easy
To think what we were
We can be from far away
We can be alone

I said "Hey, where are you going?"
Well I don't know
but truly you can see
we're moving way too slow

I said, "Hey, where are you going?"
Oh maybe we can find a way
I don't know
but you can't stay here

We won't go home
We won't go [x2]

We won't go home
We won't go [x2]

Yes Yes lyrics - The Colourist

My love is of course love
Anybody who tells you differently
They’ll lie to confuse you
They’ll do anything to take you from me
Yes yes, they’ve been jealous
Of the time spent between you and me
They’ve been talking, even plotting
Of a way they could steal you from me
Of a way they could steal you from me
Of a way they could steal you from me

You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing
You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won’t fix a thing

This time may be the last time that I see you
Just believe in me, don’t be leaving me
I’ll do anything to keep you with me
Don’t be fooled by the words of deceit
Keep it in from falling out, don’t let them talk me down
As a way they could steal you from me
As a way they could steal you from me

You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing
You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won’t fix a thing

Take my hand
You’re slipping, it’s so dark out where you’re trying to walk
But you’ve been talking
Like life is rushing past while we’re just sitting tight
But nothing’s going to change until you look inside (Nooo)
Nothing’s going to change until you look inside

You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing
You’ve been down, down for days and days
But searching for another won’t fix a thing (Nooo)
Searching for another won’t fix a thing

Tonight (Young Hearts) lyrics - The Colourist

With a handful of courage, I don't mean to impose
(Oh oh I feel it now).
And faintly I whisper a secret you know
(Oh oh I hear it now)
When I caught your love but I didn't catch your name
(Oh yeah and I feel the same)
And I'm wondering why, is it wrong if it's right

'Cause I don't want to say goodnight, when we just started a fire
We're burning bright by the hour
(In the moment can you show it)
Young hearts never want the night to end

Chasing the clock, will I see you again?
(Oh oh we'll see tonight)
If it's perfect now lets be perfect again.
(Oh oh I think it might)
I'm not used to this feeling, but you help me let go
(Oh yeah and you do the same)
And we both can't deny, young hearts never die

'Cause I don't want to say goodnight, when we just started a fire
We're burning bright by the hour
(In the moment can you show it)
Young hearts never want the night to end
Tonight, if only words could describe the feeling for the first time
(I can feel that it's real right now)
Young hearts never want the night to end

'Cause something tells me we are more then just silhouettes
It's something that I won't forget
(forget forget forget)
And if I could stop the clock with you, I knew, I knew

'Cause I don't want to say goodnight, when we just started a fire
We're burning bright by the hour
(In the moment can you show it)
Young hearts never want the night to end
Tonight, if only words can describe the feeling for the first time
(I can feel that's it's real right now)
Young hearts never want the night to end

Chasing the clock, chasing the clock
Will I see you, see you again

What Can I Say lyrics - The Colourist

Ever since you met me, I told you
That I could never hurt you, but I thought to
And ever since you’ve gone I’ve been living like nothing
Ever could go wrong, but it turned into something
Now I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to

It started off so nicely, I’d hold you,
We’d talk about our dreams til one or two
But dreaming does no good if you just fall through
And if you get your hopes high, they’ll crush you
Now I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to

What can I say, what can I say, you’ve been gone for way too long
What can I say, what can I say, I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away (I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to)
I gave it all away (I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to)

And ever since you met me, I told you
I need someone to talk to, get close to
‘cause when I think I’ll see you, there’s an excuse
And there’s nothing to talk through, you’re not here to
So I’ve got to forget you and I’m trying to
I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to
I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to

What can I say, what can I say, you’ve been gone for way too long
What can I say, what can I say, I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away (I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to)
I gave it all away (I can’t think about you, ‘cause it hurts to)

I can’t think about you ‘cause it hurts to
I can’t think about you ‘cause it hurts to
I say, I can’t think about you ‘cause it hurts to
I can’t think about you ‘cause it hurts to
I can’t think about you ‘cause it hurts to

Say You Need Me lyrics - The Colourist

I can't say anything,
It's only what you want,
You're taking everything from me when you were all I need

It's always greener, hey,
When it's working out just fine
You say you need me still,
But it's just a waste of time

Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around
Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around

Time is slipping through my fingers,
If I'm not living then I'm losing, losing,
The sound of every second passing,
Counts down the nights we shared
Give it up, leave it all behind

Nothing is getting through,
Everything just seems too late
There's only so much you can do
To get back in my way
It's all this living, hey,
Someone's always in a bind
You can't be certain what,
you want to leave behind

Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around
Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around

Time is slipping through my fingers,
If I'm not living then I'm losing, losing,
The sound of every second passing,
Counts down the nights we shared
Give it up, leave it all behind

This isn't easy,
When you say you need me

My legs want to move but don't know how
With a heavy head, I feel weighed down
Then my heart starts racing through the crowd
I heard your voice it was calling out
And you said, and you said

Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around
Why are you sitting down, when everybody's moving around

Time is slipping through my fingers,
If I'm not living then I'm losing, losing,
The sound of every second passing,
Counts down the nights we shared
Give it up, leave it all behind

Time is slipping through my fingers,
If I'm not living then I'm losing, losing,
The sound of every second passing,
Counts down the nights we shared
Give it up, leave it all behind

This isn't easy,
When you say you need me

Say you need me
Say you need me
Say you need me
Say you need me
Say you need me

Fix This lyrics - The Colourist

I tried so hard
Keeping up, keeping my head up
For what I thought was so right
Guess I'm not right always
And I thought love was a fight
You could tear each other down
Then come back to life
Guess I don't live always

Your set backs add up
I was wrong about us
Don't slam that door shut, just yet.

Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow

I tried so hard
Lift your lie
And I never showed you my cold feet, just my pride
Guess it killed you always
But I see light in your eyes
Even though I don't know how you can up the fight
Guess I cant win always

Your set backs add up
I was wrong about us
Don't turn and walk out just yet

Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow

I will fix this somehow

And you wont say
And you wont say
And you wont say we're done
And you wont say we're done
I won't let this go on
I wont let this go
And you wont say we're done
And you wont say we're done
I wont let this go on
I wont let this go

Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow

Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow

I will fix this somehow
I will fix this somehow

Stray Away lyrics - The Colourist

I know we just met, but I fear what's to come of us
If I continue to fall for you
And I know I can't judge from the past
But I fear this won't last and I'll be alone again

I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to fall in love
But I fear it's too late to let love stray away

It's always good from the start
But after time what will come of us
If I continue to fall for you
And I know I can't judge from the past
But I fear this won't last and I'll be alone again

I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to fall in love
But I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away
And I fear it's too late to let love stray away

So I guess I'll take the chance
And the chance is if we take it slow
You'll be the last one I'll love

Oh Goodbye lyrics - The Colourist

We've had our stories and separations
We let the good grow strong
We let the good grow strong

We've had our bad times
All in the past times
We let the good grow strong
We let the good grow strong

Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Ih goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya, oh goodbye

You were an addiction, its sad to say it's true
We have to say 'so long'
We have to say 'so long'

There comes time when
We're just not happy
We have to say 'so long'
We have to say 'so long'

Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya, oh goodbye

Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya
Oh goodbye, oh goodbye, oh goodbye, it's nice to know ya

Put The Fire Out lyrics - The Colourist

If you wanna be the life of the party,
Put the fire out, put the fire out
You wanna be mad then do it without me,
You're the only one, you're the only one

You can raise up your voice, but you don't have to
You can roll up your sleeves, but you don't need to
We can do what you want, but we don't have to,
Put the fire out, put the fire out

Don't be mad, it could be worse,
Just let it be and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out
For all we had, it could be worse,
Just talk to me and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out tonight

Don't run for your problems, put them on hold
I can show you how, I can show you how
The last thing you want is to be all alone
Put the fire out, put the fire out

You can raise up your voice, but you don't have to
You can roll up your sleeves, but you don't need to
We can do what you want, but we don't have to,
Put the fire out, put the fire out

Don't be mad, it could be worse,
Just let it be and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out
For all we had, it could be worse,
Just talk to me and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out tonight

Don't be mad, it could be worse,
Just let it be and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out
For all we had, it could be worse,
Just talk to me and we will see the better side
Put the fire out, put the fire out tonight

The Further lyrics - the Colourist

There's a thickness
Rolling into thoughts of grey
and you don't know what
you're use to

Restless thoughts now
Sleep them off now
Make sure the trouble's gone
or else you're gonna find out

Dreams are getting truly oh
They're never gonna be revoked
From the center of what's factual
The room fills up with something cold

Oh tell me what I'm lost in, lost in, lost in
Never kind of warning
(look around there's something more)
Tell me what I'm lost in, lost in, lost in
Never felt a feeling
(look around there's something more)

See your hands squeeze
While my lungs breathe
Keep the gaze on what has made
my heart freeze
Hands on your chest
Feel it pressing
Never understood why it kept progressing

Dreams are getting truly oh
They're never gonna be revoked
From the center of what's factual
The room fills up with something cold

Oh tell me what I'm lost in, lost in, lost in
Never kind of warning
(look around there's something more)
Tell me what I'm lost in, lost in, lost in
Never felt a feeling
(look around there's something more) [X2]

Cold October lyrics - The Colourist

It was a cold October when we found each other's hearts
I took your hand and held it, we watched the stars in my car

The thought of you, the thought of us, the thought that I could be enough
You said we would always make it through, you said we would always make it through
The thought of you, the thought of us, the thought that I could be enough
You said we would always make it through, you said we would always make it through

We took the drives through the night to get away from the talking crowd
We parked along the hillside, that's where we concealed ourselves within

The thought of you, the thought of us, the thought that I could be enough
You said we would always make it through, you said we would always make it through
The thought of you, the thought of us, the thought that I could be enough
You said we would always make it through, you said we would always make it through
