Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
The paper has line for line, some margins and some spaces
Which means I can multiply the ways to describe you, oh
All the adjectives in my mind, they're on the line, you should see how they race in
How they push, how they shove, they'll be beggin' to be written for you
(Black and white and there is no gray space)
First the chapter, then the next one, then the first book
Book after book, from a to z to fill the shelf, no
[Pre-Chorus]
It is you, not a wall, nothin' еlse at all
Come on in and take a look
My favoritе place to be
The university that is yourself
(Black and white and there is no gray space)
[Chorus]
In the clouds high, in the clouds yeah
I see the whole damn pallet when I open up my eyelids
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet
Clouds high, in the clouds yeah
Oh I bet you think I was missin' one inside it
I left out blue 'cause with you that shit is silent
[Verse 2]
First the chapter, then then the next one, then the first book
Book after book, from a to z to fill the shelf, no
[Pre-Chorus]
It is you, not a wall, nothin' else at all
Come on in and take a look
My favorite place to be
The university that is yourself
(Black and white and there is no gray space)
[Chorus]
In the clouds high, in the clouds yeah
I see the whole damn pallet when I open up my eyelids
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet
Clouds high, in the clouds yeah
Oh I bet you think I was missin' one inside it
I left out blue 'cause with you that shit is silent
[Pre-Chorus]
It is you, not a wall, nothin' else at all
Come on in and take a look
My favorite place to be
The university that is yourself
(Black and white and there is no gray space)
[Chorus]
In the clouds high, in the clouds yeah
I see the whole damn pallet when I open up my eyelids
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet
Clouds high, in the clouds yeah
Oh I bet you think I was missin' one inside it
I left out blue 'cause with you that shit is silent
