Favourite Colour
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is gettin' kinda serious
This is gettin' kinda out of control
Out of control
Slow down now
Breathin' heavy when it's just a kiss
This is gettin' kinda out of my hands
Out of my hands
Please don't go
Look real close
Eyes that show
Kaleidoscopes
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
Should I stay?
Making love until the morning light
Making out like it's the end of the world
And I really wanna get it right
But it's gettin' hard to slow down
Got me feelin' like it's real for sure
This is gettin' kinda out of my head
I'm out of my head
'Cause when I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
Please don't go
Look real close
Eyes that show
Kaleidoscopes
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue
Fallin' into you, falling for each other
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
The song "Favourite Colour" by Carly Rae Jepsen speaks to that feeling of overwhelming emotion that can come with falling in love. The first verse mentions how things are getting serious and out of control, but there's still a desire to slow down and take things in. This is a common feeling when you're starting to get close to someone, and things are escalating quickly. The chorus talks about how being close to this person makes the singer feel like they're blending into their favourite colour - baby blue. Falling in love often feels like a rush of emotions and colours, and the idea of blending into someone's favourite colour speaks to that feeling of connection and unity with another person.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's conflicting feelings about the relationship. They want to stay and make things work, but it's getting harder and harder to slow down. They're feeling out of control and a little bit crazy, but they want to get it right. The idea of "making love until the morning light" speaks to the intensity of the connection, and the fear of losing it. The bridge and final chorus repeat the idea of "painting" the singer's favourite colour - blue - onto themselves with the help of the person they're falling for. This reinforces the idea of blending together and becoming one, as well as the importance of that person in the singer's life.
Overall, "Favourite Colour" is a song that captures the feeling of early love and the desire to connect with another person on a deep level. The lyrics speak to that swirling mess of emotion and colour that can come with falling in love. It's a relatable song for anyone who's ever felt that rush of emotion when getting close to someone new.
