Ashes
Colors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, my heart's unchangeable
And he said, change isn't what i'm looking for
All those thoughts can't fade away
They come around like a rainy day sometimes
She said, sometimes i can't hide it all
And he tells her, don't try to put it all away
Somethings are bound to change
Some things oughta stay the same
I still feel the same way
Ashes, ashes and both fall down
Turn around in circles 'til we touch the ground
Take the little things in life
Make the best of what's around
Cuz it won't take long 'til we feel this way

She said maybe we can walk around this a bit long
He thinks to himself, hey, i'm alright with that
Sixteen weeks have come and gone
Still like to hold on, too
I'll hold on to you
Ashes, ashes and both fall down
Turn around in circles 'til we touch the ground
Take the little things in life
Make the best of what's around
Cuz it won't take long 'til we feel this way

Ashes, ashes and both fall down
Turn around in circles till we touch the ground
Take the little things in life
Make the best of what's around
Cuz it won't take long 'til we feel this way

Falling and falling in love this way
Ring around your finger
Won't you come out and play
Ashes, ashes and both fall down
Turn around in circles till we touch the ground
Take the little things in life
Make the best of what's around
Cuz it won't take long 'til we feel this way

Ashes, ashes and both fall down
Turn around in circles till we touch the ground
Take the little things in life
Make the best of what's around
Cuz it won't take long 'til we feel this way

Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies




Come out and play
Won't you come out and play?

Late at night when I think of you most
You're on my brain, on my brain
Thought that I can't give up the ghost
But then you came, and you came
Like some fucked up rainfall
There's only so much I can take
Hard to breathe with your hand 'round my throat, oh
Light up my fire
And no burying you and me
Friends getting higher
Can't throw our ashes to the sea
Keep our heads underwater
Desperately wanna
But I can't drown the memory of ya
The harder I try, yeah
Still no burying you and me
No end in sight, I'm a block from the coast
I'm on the edge, on the edge
I'm in nots on the end of your rope
Get out of my head, of my head
Fighting for my survival
I can't lay this love to rest
It's the night when I think of you most, oh
Light up my fire
And no burying you and me
Friends getting higher
Can't throw our ashes to the sea
Keep our heads underwater
Desperately wanna
But I can't drown the memory of ya
The harder I try, yeah
Still no burying you and me
Try to start, try to leave
Guess it's just some fantasy
Gave my heart, so naive
But now you're just the death of me
I try to start, try to leave
I guess it's just some fantasy
I gave my hope, so naive
And now I'm just
Light up my fire
And no burying you and me
Friends getting higher
Can't throw our ashes to the sea
Keep our heads underwater
Desperately wanna
But I can't drown the memory of ya
The harder I try, yeah
Still no burying you and me

A tarda notte quando ti penso di più
Late at night when I think of you most

Sei nel mio cervello, nel mio cervello
You're on my brain, on my brain

Pensavo di non poter rinunciare al fantasma
Thought that I can't give up the ghost

Ma poi sei venuto e sei venuto
But then you came, and you came

Come qualche pioggia incasinata
Like some fucked up rainfall

C'è solo così tanto che posso prendere
There's only so much I can take

Difficile respirare con la tua mano intorno alla mia gola, oh
Hard to breathe with your hand 'round my throat, oh
Accendi il mio fuoco
Light up my fire

E non seppellire te e me
And no burying you and me

Amici che si alzano
Friends getting higher

Non possiamo gettare le nostre ceneri nel mare
Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Tieni le nostre teste sott'acqua
Keep our heads underwater

Voglio disperatamente
Desperately wanna

Ma non posso annegare il ricordo di te
But I can't drown the memory of ya

Più ci provo, sì
The harder I try, yeah

Ancora niente seppellire te e me
Still no burying you and me
Non c'è fine in vista, sono a un isolato dalla costa
No end in sight, I'm a block from the coast

Sono al limite, al limite
I'm on the edge, on the edge

Non sono all'estremità della tua corda
I'm in nots on the end of your rope

Esci dalla mia testa, dalla mia testa
Get out of my head, of my head

Combattendo per la mia sopravvivenza
Fighting for my survival

Non posso posare questo amore per riposare
I can't lay this love to rest

È la notte in cui ti penso di più, oh
It's the night when I think of you most, oh
Accendi il mio fuoco
Light up my fire

E non seppellire te e me
And no burying you and me

Amici che si alzano
Friends getting higher

Non possiamo gettare le nostre ceneri nel mare
Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Tieni le nostre teste sott'acqua
Keep our heads underwater

Voglio disperatamente
Desperately wanna

Ma non posso annegare il ricordo di te
But I can't drown the memory of ya

Più ci provo, sì
The harder I try, yeah

Ancora niente seppellire te e me
Still no burying you and me
Prova a iniziare, prova a partire
Try to start, try to leave

Immagino sia solo un po 'di fantasia
Guess it's just some fantasy

Mi ha dato il cuore, così ingenuo
Gave my heart, so naive

Ma ora sei solo la mia morte
But now you're just the death of me

Provo ad iniziare, provo ad andarmene
I try to start, try to leave

Immagino sia solo un po 'di fantasia
I guess it's just some fantasy

Ho dato la mia speranza, così ingenua
I gave my hope, so naive

E ora sono solo
And now I'm just
Accendi il mio fuoco
Light up my fire

E non seppellire te e me
And no burying you and me

Amici che si alzano
Friends getting higher

Non possiamo gettare le nostre ceneri nel mare
Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Tieni le nostre teste sott'acqua
Keep our heads underwater

Voglio disperatamente
Desperately wanna

Ma non posso annegare il ricordo di te
But I can't drown the memory of ya

Più ci provo, sì
The harder I try, yeah

Ancora niente seppellire te e me
Still no burying you and me
