Every year the leaves turn from bright green to brown
There's no fighting that sometimes colors fade in this town
'Cause then that blue sky that used to paint your outline
Is lookin' a little bit darker now but darlin' that's just how
Sometimes colors fade
When you don't want 'em to
I don't think we'll get 'em back
'Cause nothing bright lasts
Sometimes colors fade
Even if you're holding on to 'em
There's no point in coverin' up
'Cause time is enough
To make the colors fade
My old man's old truck kinda reminds me of us
'Cause I know it was shinin' but now it's just sittin' there covered in rust
Just like those highways that used to take you to my place
Are lookin' a little bit faded now 'cause you ain't been driving down
Sometimes colors fade
When you don't want 'em to
I don't think we'll get 'em back
'Cause nothing bright lasts
Sometimes colors fade
Even if you're holding on to 'em
There's no point in coverin' up
'Cause time is enough
To make the colors fade
The brighter the fire, the faster it dims
The more that you love something, the sooner it ends
Colors fade
When you don't want 'em to
I don't think we'll get 'em back
'Cause nothing bright ever lasts
Colors fade
Even if you're holding on to 'em
There's no point in coverin' up
'Cause time is enough
To make the colors fade
Our colors fade, all colors fade
