Ode to Colorado
I believe you're misunderstood
No one bothers to look for the good
That you've given me all my life
Such a crazy misconception
On my part that I had been wishing to leave this place behind at all
I held my tongue when I was afraid
If they ask me now will I say your name
For your sake I will say
She's just a broken one
You will change the you do
with your red and white yellow and blue
You'll be waiting for me
Out the window on the airplane
Born in wonder God had declared
Let her skyscrapers be fourteen thousand
And beneath each tower lies a stegosaurus
We're trying to patch you
Cause when the snow falls on Saturday night
Sunday is true to its name
When they ask me how did you survive I will simply say
I held my tongue when I was afraid
If they ask me now will I say your name
For your sake I will say
She's just a broken one
You will change the you do
with your red and white yellow and blue
You'll be waiting for me
Out the window on the airplane
Could we forget about everything gone wrong
Such scary time that's passed
Forget about your reputation
Throw it out with the rest
I hold my tongue when I feel afraid
If they ask me why did you ever stay
For your sake I will say
She's just a broken one
but they don’t know you the way I do
with your red and white yellow and blue I know
You'll be waiting for me
Out the window on the airplane
