Tell me the perfect color Show me the ways and numbers Don't give it away What's the certainty? There's a known complication I don't want to know Where does it go nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows There's a long conversation Hitting deep within your bosom And you've held onto nothing For way too long There are words long unspoken And a heart which hasn't broken But the time keeps on growing on and on On and on, on and on See what you need Then you'll see there's no other way to be Take your time, don't be shy It's your time to shine Tell me the perfect color Show me the ways and numbers Tell me the thoughts you think of Show me the constellation Don't give it away Don't give it away Don't give it away Don't give it away
