I was painting a portrait
I was singing a song about
another great big forfeit
Watching the progress slip
The culmination of a year
Tryin' to keep the others sane
I need to keep on the road
But for the first time in my life
I've found some place that feels like home
It used to be so much easier
When the world was black and white
And I could fall into my sadness
Click my heels three times and hide
And now the world's in Technicolor
And I'm walking through the door
Tell my friends that I'm just fine
And I won't go back to Kansas anymore
I wanna shut down the system
Without a faux social withdrawal
Like I'm staying out all night
Without seeing a single star
Cause there's a storm up the wind
There's a witch on the wind
So we look over the rainbow
But there's no end in sight
Living life in black and white
It used to be so much easier
When the world was black and white
And I could fall into my sadness
Click my heels three times and hide
And now the world's in technicolor
And I'm walking through the door
Tell my friends that I'm just fine
Cause it used to be so much easier
When the world was black and white
And I could fall into my sadness
Clip my heels three times and hide
But now the world's in technicolor
And I'm running through the door
Tell my friends that I'm just fine
