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
