Crayola
Write it all down just to throw it out
Some things we say are best thrown away
Never see the light of day
Actors and crazies live in their fantasies
But me and you, what do we do
Stuck with the ugly truth
Dress it up in gold, say it's all right
Still, it gets so cold alone at midnight
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
You can color it better than life
Stay up all night with your old crayons
Color it better than life
Dawn is just breaking, too early to be waking
I'm lying in bed, caught in my head
Wish I were dreaming instead
Think of that new song, think of what's going wrong
The hours I keep, place that I sleep
Where I'm in much too deep
Look around the room, out of focus
Music's out of tune, you hardly notice
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
You can color it better than life
Stay up all night with your old crayons
Color it better than
We make so many plan
We mess them all up
It's out of our hands
It's time to just give up and
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
You can color it better than
Stay up all night with your old crayons
Color it brighter than
Stay up all night with gluesticks and glitter
Make it all prettier
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
Color it better than
Some things we say are best thrown away
Never see the light of day
Actors and crazies live in their fantasies
But me and you, what do we do
Stuck with the ugly truth
Dress it up in gold, say it's all right
Still, it gets so cold alone at midnight
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
You can color it better than life
Stay up all night with your old crayons
Color it better than life
Dawn is just breaking, too early to be waking
I'm lying in bed, caught in my head
Wish I were dreaming instead
Think of that new song, think of what's going wrong
The hours I keep, place that I sleep
Where I'm in much too deep
Look around the room, out of focus
Music's out of tune, you hardly notice
Stay up all night with your Crayolas
You can color it better than life
Stay up all night with your old crayons
Color it better than
