Translation
Bilingual
When I was in high school
I dated a blue girl
Her eyes were like deep pools
And hair up in short curls
Held hands in the hallways
And kissed by the lockers
Then one day she dumped me
Said I was too much of a rocker
Some people would stop and stare
Then they'd turn with some dismay
She never got used to that
I think that's really why she pushed me away
I just can't understand
Why the world grows colder
I thought things would evolve
As I got older
But all most people see
Is the color of a chin
What I've seen has always been
Past the skin
Then I was off at college
Met a few different women
Was with a green girl for a while
Not a conscious decision
Not the shade of olives
Not that it would make a difference
But a pretty shade of emeralds
Green eyes melted all resistance
I'm flipping through some pictures
Of the girls I knew before
I still don't see those colors
Maybe 'cause I see so much more
The only question that matters to me
Is if they're beautiful inside
And if that's already there
Just sign me up for the ride
So now I'm settled down
My wife's a pretty shade of purple
Kids are bright red and deep blue
We're like a color wheel circle
There are still some people
Who have a problem with my crew
I tell my kids to let it slide
Don't just judge people just based on how they judge you
I just can't understand
Why the world grows colder
I thought things would evolve
As I got older
But all most people see
Is the color of a chin
What I've seen has always been
Past the skin
What is past the skin?
The beauty that's within
