lyrics

I’m on the outside
I’m just an outline
You colored me in

Why did you choose, such somber blues
See I’m sad but these laughs keep breaking through
But would I be a bother if I ask you to use
A little highlight
A bit of lilac
Amidst the black

I’m on the outside, I’m just an outline
You’ve colored me in, as you deem fit
Damn the ones my mama picked for me
Yeah, you’ve colored me in
My love, you’re smothering it

And who did the red so deep
Yeah, I’m so much more head than feet
See, I like to let my mind wander
And I ponder before I speak

And where is all the green
Like the shade of a coconut tree
With its water for my thirst
The flesh to bless this curse
And see if you could make it up in those leaves
Well, mama said you’d find your way above anything

But I’m on the outside, I’m just an outline
You’ve colored me in, as you deem fit
Damn the ones my mama picked for me
You’ve colored me in
My love, yeah, you’re smothering it
Yeah, you’ve colored me in
Yeah, you’ve colored me in

Her sound–while difficult to keep pinned down–is undoubtedly anchored in her voice; listeners will find themselves pulled in by the the sheer gravity, forced to ride the dynamic waves of her masterful writing & emotional delivery. ... more
