"Red", by Sara Bareilles, from the album "Careful Confessions"
I’ve been down, I’ve been out. I did it all on my own.
Seems growing up didn’t take long.
Feel strange, I feel good. I feel better with you.
You’ve changed, you should. Cause I think I did too.
Made my mistakes, and did a few things right
But it will take what it will take, baby that’s life
You cannot change what you do not own, everybody knows.
But if you live deep and love strong you get pretty damn close.
It moves fast and it scares me. I close my eyes, oh but I still see…
I’m fading in and out. What are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger? You don’t know how and I’ll find my way out.
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed, I still see everything you said,
Painted in red.
I shake and I smile, cause you said
Baby girl it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for?
How you love is who you are.
I dive in and I sink in. And I find new colors to think in…
I’m fading in and out. What are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger? You don’t know how and I’ll find my way out.
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed, I still see everything you said,
Painted in red.
In the distance is a line defining where I’ve been the state I’m in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I’ve been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars, everything they said
Painted in red
I’m fading in and out. What are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger? You don’t know how and I’ll find my way out.
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed, I still see everything you said,
Painted in red.
What are you gonna do? No way for you to save me.
What are you gonna do? Everything that you gave me is painted in red.
