Colors on my shirt (Version 2)

Intro

Colors on my shirt

Verse

Tshirt from the fair that we never threw away

Salt and static from the Ferris wheel ride

Your name still fading where the collar turned gray

Summer's going dark but I don't wanna hide

Pre-Chorus

So what if September comes and this wears thin

This is all I got left of us and the kin

I'm not gonna fold it up like I fold a sheet

Some things are just too bright to forget

Chorus

Colors on my shirt, still bleeding into gold

Even fading's softer than we told

Colors on my shirt, never washed away

Every stain is just another name for day

Verse

Postcard from the boardwalk, creased and thin

A promise we wrote but forgot to pin

Now I'm holding this like it's a map back in

Halfway through something that went off track

Pre-Chorus

So what if September comes and this wears thin

This is all I got left of us and the kin

I'm not gonna fold it up like I fold a sheet

Some things are just too bright to forget

Chorus

Colors on my shirt, still bleeding into gold

Even fading's softer than we told

Colors on my shirt, never washed away

Every stain is just another name for day

Bridge

Maybe nostalgia's just the color holding

Longer than the night we wore it growing

So I'm gonna wear this till it turns to thin tissue paper

Then I'll still be glowing underneath

Chorus

Colors on my shirt, still bleeding into gold

Even fading's softer than we told

Colors on my shirt, never washed away

Every stain is just another name for day
