Draw the world is shades of grey Cut me out and walk away Pick me up then put me down 'Cause it feels so cold in the rain Could I hold you for one day? I need a chance to say Get a hope for another day Give me music anyway Lift the mood and float away It feels so cold in the rain What about us? Sing What about love? Sing What about trust? Sing What about love? Oh!
