Darkness at my feet
Trailing behind me
Oh I, Oh I'm
Unbothered
No story's too long
And there is no song
Too keep, too keep
Me colored

And all I see are
Miles and miles and miles and miles
Of black road in front of me
Stretched out underneath a white sky
No one understands 
How all this lack of color 
Feels just right to me
It's all right 
I take comfort 
In the black and white

I see light ahead
So I turn around
I could stay here forever
Don't need blues and reds
Don't need oranges
I don't need to
Be colored

Oh all I see are
Miles and miles and miles and miles
Of black road in front of me
Stretched underneath a white sky
No one understands
How all this lack of color 
Feels just right to me
It's all right 
I take comfort
In the black and white

The darkness is warm
The light is too bright
I feel right at home
Underneath the white night
The voices, they call
On the other side
But their strength just fades
With passage of time

So all I see are 
Miles and miles and miles and miles
Of black road in front of me
Stretched underneath a white sky
No one understands
How all this lack of color 
Feels just right to me
It's all right 
I take comfort
In the black and white
