color theory

You walked in like a sunrise I didn’t know I’d lost
Painting gold on all the corners I kept cold and crossed
The world had been a sketch in shades of quiet grey
But your laughter drew the lines that taught the light to stay

And suddenly, the ordinary streets
Felt like something out of a dream

You’re every color I never knew how to name
Turning my shadows into something warm again
And if loving you means losing who I was before
Then let the world redraw me once more
Because life without your light, I swear
Feels like pages torn from somewhere I still care

I used to see the future like a distant, folded map
All the roads too tangled for me to ever trace back
But now each step tastes sweet with what I still can’t see
Like the universe pressed play and waited just for me

It’s strange how fast a heart can learn
Where it belongs, and where it burns

You’re every color I never knew how to name
Turning my shadows into something warm again
And if loving you means losing who I was before
Then let the world redraw me once more
Because life without your light, I swear
Feels like songs unfinished in the quiet air

Maybe passion is a kind of spell
Where everything falls into place so well
And maybe love is the wildest hue
The one that only shows itself in you

You’re every color I never dared to claim
A thousand shades that whisper my name
And if someday fear tries pulling me apart
I’ll hold the place you live inside my heart
Because imagining life without your light, my dear
Feels like losing a whole world I found right here

You’re every color I never knew how to name
Turning my shadows into something warm again
And if loving you means losing who I was before
Then let the world redraw me once more
Because life without your light, I swear
Feels like songs unfinished in the quiet air
