lyrics

Red and blue make purple in a color world
but that's not where I live.
There's a random amount of logic mixed in
with complete nonsense.

That's the standard I'm used to,
it's relative to gold.
It's the measure of my soul
and no one knows how much it weighs when I'm alone.

The last time that I drove you home
you know I had something to say.
I didn't want to disturb you 'till we showed up
to your parents' place.

I was doing my best first impression I've ever done.
My true nature wasn't known.
I saved it up to spend with you when we're alone.

That's the standard I'm used to,
it's gold.

I have to have nice things.

I'm waiting for all of the lights to go so far down,
I can't remember your name.

I keep on doing my best first impression I've ever done.
My true nature is still not known.
I saved it up to spend with you when we're alone.
