We were driving toward the sun, setting on a California day
And she couldn't take my hand, I could tell her thoughts were somewhere far away
And the life she left behind her in the dark, was weighing on and tearing her apart
And she said after Colorado it'll just be you and me, we've been stranded and let down for way too long
We can cast away the shadow of this colder winters day, far away from there and everything that's wrong
But I knew that we would never be the same, after Colorado
Well the days turned into years, and the city took it's toll since we arrived
I got lost in all her tears, she found happiness in arms that were not mine
And I guess we just got caught up in the game, I know we were the only ones to blame
And she said after Colorado it'll just be you and me, we've been stranded in that town for way too long
We can cast away the shadow of this colder winters day, far away from there and everything that's wrong
But I knew that she would never be the same, after Colorado
And she said after Colorado it'll just be you and me, we've been stranded and let down for way too long
We can cast away the shadow of this colder winters day, far away from there and everything that's wrong
Yeah after Colorado everything will turn around, we can finally get our feet back on the ground
We'll just hold on till tomorrow all we need is one more day, we'll throw the lies and madness all away
But I knew that we would never be the same, after Colorado
After Colorado
