Lyrics

Is it strange that I'm OK with grey?
Sorry but it's always been that way.
The brightest colours never make me smile,
A dark and gloomy outlook's more my style.
I guess that's why l'm comfortable with grey.

There's always been a pressure to conform
To some idealistic sense of norm
And to see things only black or white.
But to me, that feeling's just not right...so

Is it strange that I'm OK with grey?
Sorry but it's always been that way.
The brightest colours never make me smile,
A dark and gloomy outlook's more my style.
I guess that's why l'm comfortable with grey

It's not wrong to find solace in the dark,
Or to feel that sombre warms your heart,
Everyone must find a path to take,
To find their own unique and special way...so...

Is it strange that I'm OK with grey?
Sorry but it's always been that way.
The brightest colours never make me smile,
A dark and gloomy outlook's more my style.
I guess that's why l'm comfortable with grey

The people who are special in our life,
Understand the way that we must stride,
Knowing that we see things differently,
But that's what makes us perfectly unique...so.....

Is it strange that I'm OK with grey?
Sorry but it's always been that way.
The brightest colours never make me smile,
A dark and gloomy outlook's more my style.
I guess that's why l'm comfortable with grey

Grey melody and grey lyrics, the loping tune takes a monochromatic journey through the comforts and honesty of just being yourself...even if it's gloomy and toned down. That's the real appeal of this expertly written song: the melody and lyrics feel like what it's about and there's a comfort in that. The soft, subdued vocals compliment the appealing, catchy tune perfectly. The philosophy and advice come through to tell you, yes, you are just right as you are and your path is the right path. That's what makes everyone unique and that is something to cherish. In the end, you're left with the feeling that maybe that's what is really colorful in life after all.
