[LYRICS]
The colour of ya
I rolled the dice said forever
Guess that we were playing different games
All of that time spent together
I could never read your poker face
Show me your hand
Deal or no deal
You’ve got me protecting my heart
I’m locked up (I’m locked up)
I’m locked up (You lock me up)
Ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark
You’re ultraviolet
It’s the colour of your heart
Lost in shadows
You’re like a ghost
And you’re underexposed
How can I find you
You’re ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark
It’s the colour of your heart
How’d you become the perfect stranger
Miles apart but standing face to face
And when I wrap my arms around you
Would I know you still feel the same
Show me your hand
Deal or no deal
You’ve got me protecting my heart
I’m locked up (I’m locked up)
I’m locked up (You lock me up)
Ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark
You’re ultraviolet
It’s the colour of your heart
Lost in shadows
You’re like a ghost
And you’re underexposed
How can I find you
You’re ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark
It’s the colour of your heart
Ultraviolet
The colour of ya
The colour of ya
Ultraviolet
The colour of ya
The colour of ya
Ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark (Can’t see you in dark, yeah)
You’re ultraviolet
It’s the colour of your heart (It’s the colour of your heart)
Lost in shadows
You’re like a ghost
And you’re underexposed
How can I find you
You’re ultraviolet
Can’t see you in the dark
It’s the colour of your heart
The colour of ya
The colour of ya
