  • Sweet talks on a Sunday afternoon
    Never hold you down, all the wilds and the truth
    And I know that you'll remember me, oh, back in time
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind

    Wild weeks no sleep, now you're colorblind
    But you're always there to share a smile
    And I know sometimes get rough, you feel like you've been left behind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind

    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay in mind

    Hot nights, rave lights, we sit outside
    But we see more than just the stars
    We're all caught up in our worries, we forget just where we are
    We forget just where we are

    Big steins, red wines, broken guitars
    'Cause we're free and we're young and, mm
    And I know you'll all remember me, oh, back in time
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind

    But you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay in my mind
    But you stay on my, oh, you stay in my mind
    But you, no, you stay in mind

    Sweet talks on a Sunday afternoon
    Never hold you down, all the wilds and the truth
    And I know that you'll remember me, oh, back in time
    But you, well, you stay on my, oh, you stay on my mind Writer/s: Toni Watson

  • Joe from MichiganWatson sings about wild weeks with no sleep and "now you're colourblind" in the first verse. However, it is unclear why she titled the song "Colourblind" and how this fits with the rest of the song. It sounds like she is using it as a metaphor for awww struck and they no longer see her as the girl singing on the streets, but of course you would have to ask her,I’m only going on how I read the lyrics and my own experience.
