Colourblind Lyrics
Sweet talks on a Sunday afternoon
Never hold you down, all the wilds and the truth
And I know that you'll remember me‚ oh‚ back in time
But you stay on my‚ oh, you stay on my mind
Wild weeks, no sleep‚ now you're colourblind
But you're always there to share a smile
And I know sometimes get rough
You feel like you've been left behind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
[Chorus]
But you stay on my‚ oh, you stay on my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay in mind
[Verse 2]
Hot night, rave lights, we sit outside
But we see more than just the stars
We're all caught up in our worries
We forget just where we are
We forget just where we are
Big steins, red wines, broken guitars
'Cause we're free and we're young at, hmm
And I know you won't remember me, oh, back in time
But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay in my mind
But you stay on my, oh, you stay in my mind
But you, oh, you stay in mind, mmm
[Outro]
Sweet talks on a Sunday afternoon
Never hold you down, all the wilds and the truth
And I know that you'll remember me, oh, back in time
But you, well, you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind

I wrote this song about the summertime before I moved to Byron Bay. I lived in a cabin in the middle of the bush. Four days a week I lived in my van and wrote music. Then what I would write, I’d play on the streets over the next few nights, but I got to the point where I was so horribly sad because I didn’t have my friends around me. The song starts with “Sweet talks on a Sunday afternoon.” It was the day they told me I had to quit my job and go busk because they knew that’s what I wanted to do. And if I couldn’t pay rent, they were going to support me. It’s a song to say, “No matter how far away I am or you are, you’re always on my mind.”
