Yes, I Know That Color Lyrics

He shows me something white
At first I think well maybe, don't know, s'too bright
He shows me something orange
And I start wondering was I only taught in darkness

I'm holding everything, I just picked up greys and blacks
Yes, I know that color
Yes, I know that color
I put down everything and make a wish you've also changed
Yes, I know that color
Yes, I know that color

Everything's not black and white
Everything's not black and white

I take back all that I said
But I still mean it and somehow I would still
Be so fucking sick
To be in love with you is like painting houses with chopsticks

I'm holding everything, I just picked up greys and blacks
Yes, I know that color
Yes, I know that color
I put down everything and make a wish you've also changed
Yes, I know that color
Yes, I know that color

Everything's not black and white
Everything's not black and white
Everything's not black and white
Everything's not black and white

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
