Z98.5 Tupelo, MS and Nashville’s favorite 102.9 The Buzz to get started…
With their explosive live performance, they have captured the attention of the media and have become crowd favorites at showcases and music festivals such as FMF and Memphis in May 2010.

Though my fingers may break, I just can't let you go
Don't know why I believed you,
Not with that promise you made me just yesterday
(Chorus)
I will always love you, take the me out of you
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out,
Til my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out?
3:11 again
Though I'm not your best friend,
Don't you see I will do anything to keep you with me
Close your eyes, hold on tight, spin around, it's alright
Don't you see my plans will always have you in them?
(Chorus)
I will always love you, take the me out of you
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out,
I love you and I need you

"Favorite Color" by One Less Reason is an emotional rock ballad about a man who is deeply in love with someone and is scared of losing her due to his words or actions. The opening lines "If I said the wrong thing would you leave? Though my fingers may break, I just can't let you go" express his fear of losing her over a mistake he may make. The following lines "Don't know why I believed you, Not with that promise you made me just yesterday" suggest that he may have doubts about her sincerity towards him. The chorus of the song is a declaration of his love for her and his commitment to their relationship. He expresses that he will always love her, and he needs her in his life. The repetition of the phrase "A lot of people gonna be disappointed when they find out" at the end of each chorus suggests that their love is not approved of by others, but he is willing to face any consequences for his love for her.
The bridge of the song begins with "3:11 again." It is unclear what this means, but it could be a reference to a significant time or date for the singer and his lover. The rest of the bridge expresses his willingness to do anything to keep her with him and his plans always having her in them. The final verse is a repetition of the chorus, with the addition of "Yea" at the end of each line.
Overall, "Favorite Color" is a powerful and emotional song about love and commitment. The fear of losing someone is a universal theme that many can relate to, and the singer's declaration of love is both touching and heartfelt.
