k**in time till it fades away Just to get up to face another day Rain - thunder - I can hear it getting louder The pain - makes you wonder And you ain't gettin' any younger It ain't easy as black n' white Things ain't as simple as wrong or right Everybody seein' their own point of view Shades of red, Shades of blue Chill out baby keep it casually cool With shades of red, shades of blue And when you fall too fast to fly
And everything seems so cut n' dried And when yo think you've found somethin' It leads you from nowhere to nothin' The pain's so hard to swallow So you have to steal and borrow Well, maybe tomorrow You might find a road to follow Maybe tomorrow When you're feelin' left out and so confused Gotta figure out what you need What you can use There's so many colors right in front of you Shades of red, shades of blue
