caught in your headlights, yellow and gold

keeping my eyes closed ‘til warm turns to cold

brushing the snow off from under my feet 

is it time to go now?

staring with wonder into your eyes

while we wait for morning when nothing seems right

but i’ll beg to differ ‘til i’m blue in the face

but then i know what you’ll say

honey it’s nothing we have not seen before

cause i’m just the water that covers your shore

i can’t tell the difference between you and i 

so i’ll wait here while you put out the fire

painted with colours that seem bittersweet

i’m holding my heart down until it becomes weak

and sometimes you can’t have all that you want

but the ship will keep sinking unless we stay afloat

chorus

i’m caught in your headlights, yellow and gold

and i’m keeping my guard up as long as i’m told

i give nothing to chance it and take something to keep 

i’m wiping this slate clean from under my feet

i’m staring with wonder right into your eyes

i’ll wait for morning cause something seems right

you’ll beg to differ ‘til you’re blue in the face

but there isn’t anything you couldn’t say

to change
