3:11 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
You glide through my head, blind to fear
And I know I
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels alright
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you've got to fight
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
Lost a thousand ships in my heart so easy
Still it's fine from afar
And you know that
Whoa
Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm'
Whoa
I've got to tell you something

I was 22 and living in Hawaii when this song came out. Driving next to the beach with the windows down, breathing in the warm ocean air and listening to this song is one of the best memories I'll ever get to have.
