Paint Me a Picture
Let me think in colour
Let me talk in hues
Let me show you all the things I wanted to tell you
Let me paint some colours
Since you painted me blue
Let me say nobody sees the same picture as you
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Don't forget shadows and don't forget light
Best make it even and wait 'til it dries
Wait 'til it dries, wait 'til it dries
Tell me a story and paint with your mind
I swear that your story I read won't be like
Exact as you picture it in your mind's eye
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Let me paint a picture
Let it talk to you
Let it show you everything you want to be true
Let me paint one of us
Since that's what you want
But I need to rip it up just like you did to us
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Don't forget shadows and don't forget light
Best make it even and wait 'til it dries
Wait 'til it dries, wait 'til it dries
Tell me a story and paint with your mind
I swear that your story I read won't be like
Exact as you picture it in your mind's eye
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Just one colour, not any other
You don't get the picture we painted together
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Let me talk in hues
Let me show you all the things I wanted to tell you
Let me paint some colours
Since you painted me blue
Let me say nobody sees the same picture as you
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Don't forget shadows and don't forget light
Best make it even and wait 'til it dries
Wait 'til it dries, wait 'til it dries
Tell me a story and paint with your mind
I swear that your story I read won't be like
Exact as you picture it in your mind's eye
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Let me paint a picture
Let it talk to you
Let it show you everything you want to be true
Let me paint one of us
Since that's what you want
But I need to rip it up just like you did to us
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Don't forget shadows and don't forget light
Best make it even and wait 'til it dries
Wait 'til it dries, wait 'til it dries
Tell me a story and paint with your mind
I swear that your story I read won't be like
Exact as you picture it in your mind's eye
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Pick a brush, paint the sky
Choose a colour that catches your eye
Just one colour, not any other
You don't get the picture we painted together
In your mind's eye, you thought you were right
Coming to me showing patterns of lies
The shadows, the secrets, found deep in your mind
You painted a picture, I read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
Read through the, read through the
Read through the lines
