Color
Carly Pearce Lyrics

I give up, I surrender
Admitting defeat and giving in

And be nice, 'cause this heart's a little tender
Asking for kindness due to emotional vulnerability

You were right, I was wrong, boy
Acknowledging someone else's correctness and admitting personal error

Yes, I know that you knew it all along, boy
Accepting that another person had insight and foresight about the situation

Tried to tell me we belonged together, I knew better, I was like 'no'
Rejecting someone's idea of being a good match despite them insisting otherwise

I admit it, I'm a wild child looking for a hand to hold
Recognizing oneself as an adventurous person seeking emotional security from another person

You be the lines, I'll be the color
Comparing two people as complementary entities that complete each other

Just like the day and night need each other
Pointing out that opposites attract and are naturally interdependent

Life ain't as great without the other
Stating that life is incomplete and unsatisfying without another person

Well, you're the rock, you're the steady
Describing someone as someone reliable and stable

You need someone to push you in before you're ready
Implying that some people prefer having a little bit of help and encouragement to get started

Well, I'm the rush, I'm the crazy
Identifying oneself as adventurous and unpredictable

But I'll be circling the moon without you, baby
Suggesting that adventure and risk-taking are important, but they're more fulfilling with another person

Nothing feels like you, boy
Indicating that a specific person's presence is irreplaceable

I don't know how you knew, boy
Confessing ignorance about how a person became so important

And life ain't as good without the other
Reiterating that life needs other people to be fulfilling

So you be the lines, I'll be the color, oh
Accepting someone as complementary to oneself

I'll be the color, oh
Asserting oneself as dynamic and vibrant
