BETTER IN BROWN

Intrigued by a man, dressed in black. I always wanted to look like that.
He’s flashing a fringe on a vintage western shirt. It’s an iconic look I could never get to work
Met a man in pink, and I think he said “you’d be better off dead than to see me in red.”
He’s a silver fox fit for the silver screen. He looks better than i do in my dreams,
But I look better in brown than anyone in town

So many soulful shades of blue, but you're the only one who looks like you.
You got something borrowed, old and new. Wedding bells rang and I’m tangled up in you.
I tried to wear white, but I couldn't keep it clean. I looked like some off colour scheme.
A wedding white suit ain't as pure as it seems, or whatever the hell white's supposed to mean.
But I look better in brown than anyone in town

I saw a black shirt on sale, still too rich for my blood. I felt like a tryhard for trying it out.
When I saw myself, it wasn't what I expected. It looked better in my head, than in my reflection.
These negative thoughts are old bad habits that hang around trash like yellowjackets.
I was red in the face with no one around. I felt that way until I found out that
I look better in brown than anyone in town.
And the man in black looks good like that.
My bride in blue knows what to do.
And I look better in brown...
