It must be the colors   And the kids   That keep me alive   'Cause the music is boring me to death      It must just be the colors   And the kids that keep me alive   'Cause I wanna go ride away   To a January night   Built a shack with an old friend   He was someone I could learn from   Someone I could become      Will you meet me down   On a sandy beach   We can roll up our jeans   So the tide won't get us below the knees      Yellow hair   You are a funny bear   Yellow hair   You are such a funny bear   Slender fingers   Would hold me slender limbs would hold me   And you could say my name   Like you knew my name      I could stay here   Become someone different   I could stay here   Become someone better      It's so hard to go in the city   'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody   It's so hard to go into the city   'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody   When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky   Now all we wanna do is go to red places   And try to stay outta hell      It must be the colors   And the kids   That keep me alive   'Cause the music is boring me to death      it must just be the colors   And it must just be the kids   That keep me alive on this January night.       Yellow hair   You are a funny bear   Yellow hair   You are such a funny bear
