We wanted to make a video that connected our fan base even more and “Looks Red, Tastes Blue” was the perfect song to give us that opportunity. No matter what you’re going through in life, we’re there for you. We’re all the same and we’re more connected in this life than you know. We’re family.
[Verse 1]
This is the longest day I've ever had
I'm far away but I am right there
If distance only makes you stronger
Don't make it last any longer
My mind is racing and it won't stop
And every thought is something negative
I hope this doesn't last forever
We're always meant to be together
I won't lie, this hurts more than you'll ever know
[Pre-Chorus]
That's when something told me that
[Chorus]
If I pinch myself so that I wake
That means it never really happened
'Cause I can feel my tears finding their way
I fear it's worse than I imagined
[Verse 2]
I'm sick of writing every thought out
Reliving every single moment
Say what you mean, it's now or never
Because nothing is forever
I won't lie, this hurts more than you'll ever know
(The thought of you all alone)
Your eyes rolled back as you fade to black
(It's not worth living without you)
[Pre-Chorus]
That's when something told me that
[Chorus]
If I pinch myself so that I wake
That means it never really happened
'Cause I can feel my tears finding their way
I fear it's worse than I imagined
[Bridge]
But I'll hold this memory
And I swear I won't forget your face
'Cause pictures always seem to fade away
Now my blood turns red to blue
And I can't breathe without you
Now my blood turns red to blue
And I can't breathe without you
No, I can't breathe
No, I can't breathe
[Chorus]
If I pinch myself so that I wake
That means it never really happened
'Cause I can feel my tears finding their way
I fear it's worse than I imagined
[Bridge]
But I'll hold this memory
And I swear I won't forget your face
'Cause pictures always seem to fade away
Why do they always fade away?
'Cause pictures always seem to fade away
Why do they always fade?
Why do they fade away?
[Outro]
Now my blood turns red to blue
And I can't breathe without you
