Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These words we're holding back
Three times, we've been here once before
Never been too good at this
Feels like a dream we've known before
[PreChorus]
It's never been black or white
Rather lay here in a shade of grey
In a shade of grey
Baby, won't you speak your mind?
All you're feeling, all that you won't say
All you won't say
[Chorus]
Can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, none left unspoken
Oh, my love
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, heart kept wide open
Can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, none left unspoken
Just for once
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, heart kept wide open
[Verse 2]
It could all be so simple
But we talk when it's all too late
All too late
We know, we know better
Could've said the things we meant to say
We meant to say
[PreChorus]
It's never been black or white
Rather lay here in a shade of grey
In a shade of grey
Baby, won't you speak your mind?
All you're feeling, all that you won't say
All you won't say
[Chorus]
Can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, none left unspoken
Oh, oh my love
Black or white, no shades of grey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every word said, heart kept wide open
Can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Yeah
Every word said, none left unspoken
Just for once
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, heart kept wide open
[Verse 3]
Can we make it black or white?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Darling, can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Black or white, no shades of grey
Every word said, heart kept wide open
Can we make it black or white?
Black or white, no shades of grey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every word said, heart kept wide open
[Verse 4]
Baby, won't you speak your mind?
I know you're feeling all that you won't say
Baby, won't you speak your mind?
All you feel but know that you won't say, oh
[Outro]
Can we make it black or white?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can we make it black or white?
