Counting Crows - Colorblind Lyrics Meaning

This is a beautiful song. Colorblind I believe means I'm not seeing the subtleties in the world because I'm stuck in my shell, inside myself. I am ready to come out now and feel, take chances, be loved and love. The second verse is like I can't say what I want to, the words never come out right, and I'm scared and uptight. Third verse is like I hide behind my skin and don't let others in. The "folded, unfolded, unfolding" is like origami, having your feelings twisting and folding and back again.

That's the best I can explain it, but if you've been there, you get it.
