Lyrics

I clean my guitar with a cotton cloth
And wipe off the fingerprints
Sweat and alcohol of a breakthrough gig
At a club called Leviticus
Pack it all away in a Gibson case
Stickers put on in a happier place
Don't turn the light on
I'm living the life
Ridin' in silence
Tears in my eyes

I see colors when you're with me
When you're with me oh, oh, oh
I see colors when you're with me
When you're with me oh, oh, oh

Call from the hotel
Wait for your voice
It's a habit I'll never break
I ask how you're doin'
You say that you're fine
I know I've made a mistake
You can't resist me
Sippin' a whiskey
Lookin' neat and tidy
Fit for a king
I stare out the window
Clouds in the sky
So far away
I tell you good-bye

I see colors when you're with me
When you're with me oh, oh, oh

We're on the way to paradise
But it's lonely at the top

I see colors when you're with me, baby
