lyrics

I must have misheard you when you said I was artistic
Did you mean it as a compliment when you said that you'd never met someone like me?
It's just that the way you smiled could be read as derogative
I'd like to think that I can tell when someone's saying something that they do not mean
But when you start talking with your eyes, I find it's not a language that I speak

Long ago, philosophers would wonder at the ocean:
Is there anything that can exist if it cannot be measured with infinity?
Why do we know beauty, or take time to travel somewhere?
Are there kinds of loving things inside the planets and the carpets and the trees?
And what color is the sun? We draw it yellow, but I think it might be green.

I must have misheard you when you said I was artistic
Did you mean it as a compliment when you said that you can't believe my honesty?
Truth be told, I'm holding back on so much commentation
I'm aware enough to know that everybody isn't interested in questions like these.

But what color is the sun? We draw it yellow, but I think it might be green.
