Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to live in the darkness
Dressed in black, act so heartless
But now I see that colors are everything
Got kaleidoscopes in my hairdo
Got back the stars in my eyes, too
Ya know, I see the magic inside of me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, maybe my head's fucked up
But I'm falling right back in love
With being alive, dreaming in light, light, lights
This kitty cat lost her mind
Been looking for a star-sent sign
That I'll be alright, look to the skies
[Verse 3]
I found a rainbow, rainbow baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on girl
Come and play along with me tonight
[Verse 4]
I'd forgot how to daydream
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realize this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left in my heart's still made of gold
[Verse 5]
And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darlin', our scars make us who we are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can't go on
Hold tight, sweetheart
[Verse 6]
You'll find a rainbow, rainbow baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on girl
Come and play along with me tonight
[Verse 7]
You gotta learn to let go
Put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Night, night, night, night, night
[Verse 8]
I found a rainbow, rainbow baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on girl
[Verse 9]
You gotta learn to let go
Put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
[Verse 10]
Oh put those colors on girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
[Verse 11]
Come and paint the world with me tonight
