Nick Granato - Color Outside The Lines
lyrics
You can do what you want as long as you keep to yourself,
You can be who you are as long as its somewhere else,
Its a Simon Says life; you must do whats expected
After all its our way of life theyre protecting
So we follow the obvious, the blind leading the blind and
No one cares until you color outside the lines


Its a paint-by-number predictable situation
A black and white world with Technicolor implications
Move to the rhythm of a different drum
One steps out and they all come undone,
They try to ignore the things that they cant define
No one cares until you color outside the lines


(Chorus)
When its not picture perfect, and you dare to be different
Thats when they open their eyes
Theyll try to deny it, and then try to hide it,
By covering up what they find
The only time they look your way
Is when you mess with their precious designs,
And no one cares, until you color outside the lines


Its not about how you look; its just your appearance
No its not about what you say; its just how they hear it,
Speak out of turn; they put a mark on the page
Say too much, youll be feeling their rage
You must conform to what they all decide
Cause no one cares, until you color outside the lines.


(Chorus)


They dont like your crayon shades, or the pictures that you choose
And youre abstract styles just a bit too wild
To say the least theyre not amused.
No, dont let them stop you, dont let them tell you,
That youre not doing it right
Because no one cares until you color outside the lines
No one cares until you color outside the lines.
Yeah God smiles. When you color outside the lines
