Hey tell me what do I have to know about the sunrise Stop tell me why do you have to go in front of my eyes Wait there's so much that I need to tell you why won't you listen Stop there's so much that I need to say about what we're missing You might find if you give me time you'll want to be the color I need I can write you letters with purple lines But our time will stay white A yellow daydream won't give us the night So after all is done and said I need you red Take all the moments and looks that we shared together And keep them with all of those times that we had Don't forget just remember I pray that I'll have one more chance to see you if only briefly And hear you say that you can't sleep at night because you miss me You might find if you give me time you'll want to be the color I need I can write you letters with purple lines But our time will stay white A yellow daydream won't give us the night So after all is done and said I need you red I can write you letters with purple lines, yeah But our time will stay white, yeah yeah yeah A yellow daydream won't give us the night So after all is done and said I need you red I need you red I need you red
