Colours
Armin Van Buuren/Emma Hewitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you do it all the same?
I wonder, would I?
Of the promises we made
Is there anything you'd change?
In the re-runs of our lives
If I could call you for a day
I would
All the colors that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
And we never took the time
To see where we were going
We were only passing by
And we never questioned why
The river keeps on flowing
The beauty of the ride
If I could call you for a day
Just to hear the words you'd say
I would
All the colors that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
The river flows
All the colors that you bring
Will they ever come again?
All the places that we've been this time
All the people that you knew
They'll be waiting there for you
All the faces that we've seen in this life
All the colors that you bring
All we ever want to be
All the places that you've dreamed this time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen in this life

If you had this time again
If you could go back to the past
Would you do it all the same?
Would you make the same choices?
I wonder, would I?
I am unsure about what I would do
Of the promises we made
Regarding the commitments we agreed on
Is there anything you'd change?
Would you alter anything?
In the re-runs of our lives
If we could relive our life again
If I could call you for a day
If I could speak with you for a short time
Just to hear the words you'd say
Just to listen to your words
All the colors that you bring
All the emotions that you create
All come rushing back again
Are refreshed in my memory
All the places that we've been this time
All the locations we have visited
All the people that you knew
All the individuals that you were acquainted with
They'll come running back to you
They will return to your life
All the faces that we've seen in this life
All the people that we encountered while living
And we never took the time
We failed to seize the opportunity
To see where we were going
To anticipate our future
We were only passing by
We were transient
And we never questioned why
We never challenged our beliefs
The river keeps on flowing
Time continues to move forward
The beauty of the ride
The wonder of the journey
All the colors that you bring
All the emotions that you create
Will they ever come again?
Will I ever feel the same way again?
All the places that we've been this time
All the locations we have visited
All the people that you knew
All the individuals that you were acquainted with
They'll be waiting there for you
They will be anticipating your return
All the faces that we've seen in this life
All the people that we encountered while living
All we ever want to be
What we aspire to become
All the places that you've dreamed this time
All the locations you imagined visiting
All the people that you knew
All the individuals that you were acquainted with
They'll come running back to you
They will return to your life
All the faces that we've seen in this life
All the people that we encountered while living

If you had this time again
Would you do it all the same?
I wonder? Oh, would I?
Of the promises we made
Is there anything you'd change
In the re-runs of our lives?
If I could call you for a day
Just to hear the words you'd say
I would, oh
All the colours that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been
This time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen
This life
And we never took the time
To see where we were going
We were only passing by
And we never questioned why
The river keeps on flowing
The beauty of the ride
If I could call you for a day
Just to hear the words you'd say
I would, oh
All the colours that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we've been
This time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen
This life
The river flows
The river flows
All the colours that you bring
Will they ever come again?
All the places that we've been
This time
All the people that you knew
They'll come running back to you
All the faces that we've seen
This life

I haven't listened to this in years and I'd have to say, it's a surprisingly underrated track! Less than half a million views after 4 years is interesting to me. This 'club version' is actually pretty chill.
