Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You see the world in black and white
No colour or light
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong, you might
[Verse 2]
The sky could fall could fall on me
The parting of the sea
But you mean more mean more to me
Than any colour I can see
[Verse 3]
All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
[Verse 4]
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up as us
[Verse 5]
You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try
[Verse 6]
And all you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It's never gonna give itself up
[Verse 7]
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up
[Verse 8]
And don't you wanna see it come soon?
Floating in a big white balloon
Or given on your own silver spoon
[Verse 9]
Don't you wanna see it come down?
There for throwing your arms around
And say, "You're not a moment too soon"
[Verse 10]
'Cause I feel low
'Cause I feel low
Oh
Yeah I feel low
Oh no, oh
Oh
'Cause I feel low
Oh
'Cause I feel low
Oh
Yeah I feel low
Oh, low
Oh
