Take Off Your Colours

You Me At Six Take Off Your Colours Lyrics
1.The Truth Is A Terrible Thing

Lyricist:Matthew James Barnes, Daniel David Flint, Josh James Alphonse
Franceschi, Max Michael Helyer, Christopher James Miller

Nervous and you're tearing at the seams
The lights are too bright and you've got cold feet
You look the part, you're only seventeen
Can you drag me up and show me what I'm missing out on?

Don't waste your time, we've heard it all before
We've had enough and hangers on and friends we didn't want
Don't waste your time, we've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more

You're a star but you haven't been turned on
Think you can shine this way the whole way to the top
She said are you sure it's what you want?
Call it luck, call it too much

Don't waste your time, we've heard it all before
We've had enough and hangers on and friends we didn't want
Don't waste your time, we've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more

The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think?
The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think?


2.Gossip

Lyricist:Matthew James Barnes, Daniel David Flint, Josh James Al
Franceschi, Max Michael Helyer, Christopher James Miller

You've been looking at me like you've got something to say
You got flaws in your step
You're miles away from anything anyway

Let's get to the point
The words that fell of your lips didn't mean anything
They didn't mean shit to you or him

But tonight we will be alright
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I
And you're right for we will be alright
'Cause we've got it all and it's all that is left inside
Let's just keep on talking

I smell your scent on my skin and the clothes that I wear
It's a thought in my head and I can't shake it
Of you and him, sh-sh-shake it

I am at the party too, I am in the room next to you
With your back to the door and your ear to the floor
And you were desperate

But tonight we will be alright
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I
And you're right for we will be alright
'Cause we've got it all and it's all that is left inside
Let's just keep on talking

And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me

But tonight we will be alright
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I
And you're right for we will be alright
'Cause we've got it all and it's all that is left inside
Let's just keep on talking


3.Call That A Comeback

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

I've got a bad feeling
That I went and got dirt on your name
And you swear you heard them say
That is the guy who makes the biggest mistakes

He said, she said that I'm a joke
The kind of hoax that leaves a lump in your throat
From what I hear I still maintain some class
And if you let me be your first I swear I'll be your last

And all the rumors that you may have heard
Have left a mark and stripped you of your worth

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
No, I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

You've got a good feeling that
That I went and got dirt on your name and
You swear you heard them say
That giving up will be your biggest mistake

I've got a spot for blondes and green eyes
I am falling faster and it frames no surprise
Shallow is as shallow does
And if you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart

All I've got is what I bare in these arms
The saddest part is that it's not enough and everybody knows

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
No, I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

And all I've got is what you don't wanna know where I will go
The saddest part is I am not with you

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
No, I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

You're a champ and itching for comeback
But you're an inch, an inch away
You're a champ and itching for a comeback
So stay


4.Jealous Minds Think Alike

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

I guess now is a good time to tell the truth
The pedigree I carry will swallow you
I am not what you are, foolish in every way
Inside of you and they're watching you

Sad, sad sight before the so, so eyes
And they're heavy for the weakest of minds
You got the boys, the boys, oh, so fine
Oh, but I know you're wasting your time
Go, go

You can be the ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

Oh, just imagine what I thought when I opened up that door
There was a million things you want
Oh, just imagine what they'll think
When they see me lead you on and I'll be loosing sleep
No, no

You can be the ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

It's so wrong, so wrong
It's so wrong

You can be ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your

You can be ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

Jealous minds think alike
You're a dent in time
I'm wasting all my time
You're only gone


5.Save It For The Bedroom

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

Keep your hands to yourself, these lips belong to someone else
And you know that you will never get on it
Keep your lies to yourself, every lie you heard from someone
else
And you know that you will never get with it

Well, I sussed you good, you knew I would
Oh haven't you heard you're just a mark on my shirt?
Another night and another girl
Well, I taste so good, you knew I would

So who's keeping score on who is a whore?
With you by my side, that look in your eye
I hope you don't

Go home and wash your jeans 'cause there's dirt on the knees
Your jealously doesn't sit with me
You love, I love you too, below the waist I'll start charging
you
'Cause that's just how the players play the game
My winning streak is missing

So who's keeping score on who is a whore?
With you by my side, that look in your eye
I hope you don't

So who's keeping score on who is a whore?
With you by my side, that look in your eye
I hope you don't
And you whore

Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom

Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom

Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom

Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom

Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom

We'll save it for the, save it for the bedroom
Oh, I'll save it for the, save it for the backdoor


6.Take Off Your Colours

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

Those eyes you bought have gone to my head
But they won't take you to my bed
You talk a good game, but girl you've been played
Look at this face you choose to play
The town talk keep me up to date, we will never be the same

This a war, this is a heart, these are the strings you'll pull
These are the stakes, they have been raised, it's your call
Too much has changed, I hate this place
But I don't wanna leave it this way

Let's get it straight, without a thought I'll take it away
That's the price you pay for having luck in the first place
Call it what you want, I've spent to long under your thumb
And now the clouds have had their say

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends
Are you comfortable, are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady, I'll play the gent, we will call it time well
spent
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for this

This is the storm so let it pour and take over your shores
Here comes the rain, I'll have my day it's so sore
Let it be heard, lessons were learnt and it will never hurt like
this again

Take off your colors, who are you wearing them for?
Tick off your lovers, all respect was left at the door
I had a front row seat to you on your knees
It was everything I hope it be

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends
Are you comfortable?
'Cause you're gonna hate me for this

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends
Are you comfortable, are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady, I'll play the gent, we will call it time well
spent
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for


7.You've Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It)

I'm so glad that your lipsticks on,
Back seat of your best friends car,
well we were onto something here.
Oh no wait you will call it off and space is on the cards,
Who'd drink to that, I wont drink to that.
Oh Over hill will you teach me the games that you play so well
And I'll drink to that, who'll drink to that?

You've made your bed, so sleep in it, and never call me again.
You've made your bed, so sleep with him,
But know I'm the best you'll get.
I wrote this song so you would know why i look up to everyone.

Here's a list of the things you said and i wont get over it,
You want to know, you, want to know and.
The games that girls will play,
Makes me move away so i can train,
Train myself to trust again.
Oh Over hill will you teach me the games you play so well and,
I'll drink to that, who'll drink to that?

You've made your bed, so sleep in it, and never call me again.
You've made your bed, so sleep with him,
But know I'm the best you'll get.
I wrote this song so you would know how i look up to everyone.

Are you on or off? You on or,
Are you on or off? You on or.

I wrote this song so you would know why i look up to everyone.

These words will convince you to never love again,
You want to be friends, i wont do it.
These words will convince you to never sleep with me again,
You want to be friends, i can't do it.


8.If You Run

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

They say that problems come
Come in pairs and I'm number one
So take a look at your friends, oh envy is a terrible thing

No you, you're so smart
So smart that you didn't call my bluff
Oh you should, should just run

If you run
If you run

If you run away you won't stay and that's so cold
Is it like you wanted it to? Are you scared?
Sing take it away, take it away
It's so easy to stay, easy to stay when you know everything

Stop, you had us all convinced
you were something, something you couldn't miss
But what did we really miss?

You say you'll give it up and you'll give it up all away
You'll give it up and you'll give it up all away
Give it up and give it up, give it away

If you run
If you run

If you run away you won't stay and that's so cold
Is it like you wanted it to? Are you scared?
Sing take it away, take it away
It's so easy to stay, easy to stay when you know everything

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I've got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
You're so cool

Run around, just running your mouth
About your hometown that's booing you now
But you're so cool, so cool

Run around, just running your mouth
About your hometown that's booing you now
But you're so cool, so cool


9.Tigers And Sharks

All those dirty words that you said, did you mean it, did you
now.
You're biting at the hand that feeds you, like a stray for some
scraps.
Everybody you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone that you once loved has sold you out.

Everyone I know, they faked it from the word go and I need to
know why.
That everyone I love has been swimming with the sharks and I
don't know why.

Does defeat leave a taste in your mouth, one that you could live
without
Everyone that you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone that you once loved has sold you out.

So tell me how does it feel?


10.If I Were In Your Shoes

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

There's something you don't know
I've walked you off to keep you on your toes
There's something you didn't know
I've grown some bones so I can walk you off

Tonight, tonight everything's alright
Tonight, tonight

If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell
you
If I were in your room using just my eyes I would tell you
I would tell you

There's something you didn't know
You've got your teeth in me and it hurts
And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now

Tonight, tonight everything's alright
Tonight, tonight

If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell
you
If I were in your room using just my eyes
Using just my eyes I would tell you

If I were in your shoes I'd run a thousand miles just to tell
you
If I were in your room using just my eyes I would tell you
If I were in your shoes, in your shoes, in your

And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think
This is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink
And you don't even need me now


11.Always Attract

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

If it hurts this much then it must be love
And it's a lottery, I can't wait to draw your name
Oh, I'm trying to get to you but time isn't on my side
If the truth's the worst I can do then I guess that I have lied

Keeping me awake, it's been like this now for days
My heart is out at sea, my head all over the place
I'm losing sense of time and everything tastes the same
I'll be home in a day, I fear that's a month too late

That night I slept on your side of the bed
So it was ready when you got home
We're like noughts and crosses
In that opposites always attract

You've taken me to the top and let me fall back south
You've had me at the top of the pile and then had me kissing the
ground
We've heard and seen it all, no one's talked us out
The problems that have come haven't yet torn us down

Am I keeping you awake? If I am then just say
You can make your own decisions, you can make your own mistakes
I'll live and let die all the promises you made
But if you lie another time it'll be a lie that's too late

That night I slept on your side of the bed
So it was ready when you got home
We're like noughts and crosses
In that opposites always attract

You always have your way
For now it's too soon for you to say will we be always, always
You always have your way
For now it's too soon for you to say will we be always, always

You always have your way
For now it's too soon for you to say will we be always, always
You always have your way
For now it's too soon for you to say will we be always, always,
always

You always have your way
For now it's too soon for you to say will we be always, always
You've had your way, you've had your way
You've had your way


12.Nasty Habits

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

You should've seen me last night
Working the room, had their chests going tight
I got a theory all I need is one drink

I've got you breathing all heavy and deep
Gasping for air and down on your knees
You're in love but for only as long as you're wanted

You never miss a beat, but

You're the best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to

Best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to

Break down, you've always been so proud
Just look at you now
You're a bad smell in this room

And I don't wanna, I don't wanna be bad news
And I don't wanna, I don't wanna be bad news
But you are, but you are

I would walk through hell with a smile on my face
Just so I could make my mark on the hottest place

Best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to

Best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to break, to break

You're the best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come

You're the best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to

Best kept secret rolling off my tongue
Some say you're as easy as they come
And I say what a way for the ice to break

You never miss a beat, no
You never miss a beat, no
You never miss a beat, no
What a way for the ice to break


13.The Rumour

Lyricist:Matt Barnes, Dan Flint, Josh Franceschi, Max Helyer, Chris
Miller

Well, I am the cancer
Running through your veins
I am the sweat
Dripping down the side of your face

I am the pain in the back of your legs
It makes you fall to you knees
It makes you believe

And I am the headline
That's going to make front page news
I am that fashion you're all into

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

I am the rumor on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh, sound the alarm

I am that feeling
That you've done something wrong
I am that friend
Who knew all along

We say we have our best friends
Yet we stab them in the back
We try to show some love
And it's a skill that we lack

Ive had it with this crowd
And I am done with this town
I've had enough of these shows
It's over with you now

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands up as if you care
Oh, hold on, Josh

Behind your back
They talk about you all the time
Behind your back
They spread some shit and some lies
