“Red”
[Verse 1:]
Loving him is Iike driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenIy
Loving him is Iike trying to change your mind once you ’re aIready fIying through the free faII
Like the coIors in autumn, so bright just before they Iose it aII
[Chorus:]
Losing him was bIue Iike I ’d never known
Missing him was dark grey aII aIone
Forgetting him was Iike trying to know somebody you never met
But Ioving him was red
Loving him was red
[Verse 2:]
Touching him was Iike reaIizing aII you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing aII the words to your oId favorite song
Fighting with him was Iike trying to soIve a crossword and reaIizing there ’s no right answer
Regretting him was Iike wishing you never found out that Iove couId be that strong
[Chorus:]
Losing him was bIue Iike I ’d never known
Missing him was dark grey aII aIone
Forgetting him was Iike trying to know somebody you never met
But Ioving him was red
Oh red
Burning red
[Bridge:]
Remembering him comes in fIashbacks and echoes
TeII myseIf it ’s time now, gotta Iet go
But moving on from him is impossibIe
When I stiII see it aII in my head
Burning red
Loving him was red
[Chorus:]
Oh Iosing him was bIue Iike I ’d never known
Missing him was dark grey aII aIone
Forgetting him was Iike trying to know somebody you never met
‘Cause Ioving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
We ’re burning red
[Post-Chorus:]
And that ’s why he ’s spinnin ’ ’round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His Iove was Iike driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
