Colorado Sunrise
3OH!3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly,
Kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me.
Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
Plus my tongue is tied to tonsils and I need to shit and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
And if you try to take that from me well I'll never be the same

Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck

And as long as it's OK with you I think I'll stay right here.
I got no where to go cause where to go is up to you, dear.
Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes.
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

No car and never cared because I got no place to go.
But in a room, (a single wall?) I couldn't pay a plant to grow
You can try and make this pretty, pick up all my dirty clothes.
And if you never really get me then I guess you'll never know the

Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
Plus my tongue is tied to tonsils and I need to shit and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
And if you try to take that from me well I wouldn't be the same

Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
A train wreck
That I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
Train wreck.
That I am
(If I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly)
And I am what I am what I am
(Kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me)
A train wreck
That I am
(Shiver on your roof see your face lit by starlight)
And I am what I am what I am




(Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise)
A train wreck.

Kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me.
Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made

I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
And if you try to take that from me well I'll never be the same

Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am
A train wreck

And as long as it's OK with you I think I'll stay right here.
I got no where to go cause where to go is up to you, dear.
Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes.
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

And if you try to take that from me well I wouldn't be the same

Train wreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
A train wreck
That I am
And I am what I am what I am
(Colorado sunrise)
Train wreck.
That I am
