Song lyrics
I am colorblind,
Coffee black and egg white.
Pull me out from inside.
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am....
Taffy stuck and tongue tied,
Stutter shook and uptight.
Pull me out from inside.
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am...fine......
I am covered in skin,
No one gets to come in.
Pull me out from inside.
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding.
I am,
colorblind,
Coffee black and egg white.
Pull me out from inside.
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am....fine.
I am.... fine.
I am fine.

they key should just be natural i.e. play it without making any changes

as for the chords, il have a look at home for you i think they're just Am, C and F though

This song is so amazing...
I think that it is about someone who is so lost and so depressed that they feel prisoner to their own body "covered in skin" and that they are afraid of getting hurt so they dont let people in "no one gets to come in." If no one gets in then no one can hurt you ryte. And the whole colorblind thing... I think is comparing himself to a baby... like being trapped inside and babies are colorblind... and i think that colorblind also symbolizes depression because color is a symbol of happiness but hes so far down and so trapped that he cant see it. But then I think he wants to be saved cuz hes met someone who can... "I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am fine." I think that this is an intense love song and could even be an awesome christian song.

amazing song, pity counting crows have changed so much since then.


anyways, i think that lyrics are open for interpretation, and that its is not the role of ne1 to be preaching to the rest of us what they think the song means. it has multiple methaphorical meanings.

this song is so beautiful. even if the text dont say so much, are the song so.. what are you saying.. telling maybe. the text tell a lot of things. the music and especially the piano make a lot of that too. and his voice... ahhh is sooo amazing. i dont understand why you dont hear this song on the radio or often. ive heard this song at first on a video. and thats the way it is.
