lyrics

Here we are beneath the shelter
a place we never thought we'd find
tangled up alone together
you freed what I had locked inside

let it all begin
the world explodes in color
no more black and white
the waves are crashing in
blues and greens and reds
no more black and white
black and white

with you
colors come alive
right before my eyes
things I missed before
I'm not missing anymore

this feeling starts to change the weather
the sun breaks through to light the sky
all around us things look better
I see you for the very first time

let it all begin
the world explodes in color
no more black and white
the waves are crashing in
blues and greens and reds
no more black and white
black and white

with you
colors come alive
right before my eyes
things I missed before
I'm not missing anymore

one day when we are older
we'll look back and smile
on the day when we both took shelter

let it all begin
the world explodes in color
and the waves are crashing in
no more black and white
black and white
