Question

it's a beautiful song but i dont know what its about

Answer 1

Adam wrote Mrs. Potter's Lullaby, Colorblind, Four Days and Kid Things for the same person. He met her while he was writing Mrs. Potter, she left and he was inspired to write Colorblind. "I wrote "Colorblind" at home, thinking about how badly I wanted to be pulled out of myself by somebody. Thinking that maybe I was ready for something different now." Then, he wrote Four Days because that's how long she had been gone. So, they're all connected.

Adam says it's about wanting somebody to pull you out of something and that's always what I've taken from it as well.
