Colorado
Reggie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The smell of ashes, it still lingers
These moments, might last forever
Was it worth getting stoned every night
If I could lose you and those good times
Will I ever let go
I don't know
I don't know
Colorado, wind and water, on my face
Oh man, how can I make you stay
My hands, covered, in glitter underneath the moon
Different colors, different hues, Maybe I do love you
Oh please don't make look at you
I'll mean something to you (Something to you)
I'll mean something to you
I'll mean something to you




I'll mean something to you
(I'll mean something to you)

Overall Meaning

In Reggie's song Colorado, he reflects on the memories of a past relationship that was filled with wild nights of getting high together. However, now that it's all over, the smell of ashes still lingers, reminding him of the good times that may have been fleeting but were worth it at the moment. Reggie questions if getting stoned every night was worth losing that person, and if he will ever be able to let go of the memories. He repeats the line "I don't know" to emphasize his confusion and uncertainty.


Reggie then turns his attention to Colorado, where he is currently located. He feels the wind and water on his face, and it reminds him of the person he lost. He reminisces about the time they spent together, where they covered their hands in glitter under the moon, and admires the different colors and hues. He wonders if he still loves this person and pleads with them to not make him look at them because he knows it will mean something to him. He repeats the line "I'll mean something to you" multiple times, showing that he still wants to be recognized as significant in their life, even if the relationship is over.

Lyrics ~


Colorado might not be heaven
But it must on the way
Where the eagles in the pine trees
On the red rocks seems to say
Come where cool streams pure as daimonds give the trout a place to play
Colorado might not be heaven
But it must be on the way

There's subtle beauty 'bout the desert
Barren cactus blooming in the sand
Open prairie has its charms
Golden fields of wheat, barley
Lambs are bleating
Country kids competing at the fair
Oh... I've been there...

Colorado might not be heaven
But it must on the way
Where the eagles in the pine trees
On the red rocks seems to say
Come where cool streams pure as daimonds give the trout a place to play
Colorado might not be heaven
But it must be on the way

Come with me and climb up to the summit
Where the mountain air is pure and clear
Watch the sun skip 'cross the rocks
Like a carefree child, let the breezes tease you
Let the sky release you from your care
Then leave them there...

Colorado might not be heaven
But it must on the way
Where the eagles in the pine trees
On the red rocks seems to say
Come where cool streams pure as daimonds give the trout a place to play
Colorado might not be heaven
But it must be on the way...
But it must be on way...

I did not know then as I do now of our amazing living God & I love Him so much!💛
