In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You'll never see a dark cloud
Hanging 'round me
Now there is only blue sky
To surround me
There's never been a grey day
Since you found me
Everything I touch
Is turning to gold
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Just as long as I know
You're thinking of me
There'll be a rainbow
Always up above me
Since I found the one
Who really loves me
Everything I touch
Is turning to gold
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Sunshine yellow, orange blossom
Laughing faces everywhere, yeah
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Colour my world
Oh colour my world
Hanging 'round me
Now there is only blue sky
To surround me
There's never been a grey day
Since you found me
Everything I touch
Is turning to gold
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Just as long as I know
You're thinking of me
There'll be a rainbow
Always up above me
Since I found the one
Who really loves me
Everything I touch
Is turning to gold
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Sunshine yellow, orange blossom
Laughing faces everywhere, yeah
So you can colour my world
With sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
With happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
And the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
Just paint it with your love
Just colour my world, mmh
Colour my world
Oh colour my world
