Synesthesia

You turned over a new leaf
I could see the yellow in your eyes
Just like a tiger in the autumn
Orange and red stripes
I heard that colors match with numbers
Synesthesia
Let go your nightly task of looking into

Other people's lives
You'll ruin the surprise
When you say you're mine
Say it with your eyes
Ooh

You turned over a half moon
Sleeping cover stolen at your side
A whisper of a promise
I'll be with you 'til the sunrise
I received a letter
Listing each new increase in size
A relief of lovers, flowers, fire towers

Afraid of heights
Wanted to climb
A pause in the demise
Wanted to try
Ooh

A tree turned sideways
Roots exposed to newly found relief
It's fine, we're built for storm and shelter
You're growing like a weed
I discovered an island
Dropping circles in the atmosphere
You're good at skipping stones across the water

You turned over a new leaf (You turned over)
I could see the yellow in your eyes
Just like a tiger in the autumn (Just like a tiger)
Orange and red stripes
I heard that colors match with numbers
Synesthesia
Let go your nightly task of looking into
