van gogh

You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)
You could have been the brightest star (ooh)
But I guess you were just too shy (ooh)
You've just seen too many ghosts (ooh)
Of people you don't know (ooh)
You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)

You don't stare at the sky
You just stare at the window
You don't see me smile (smile)
You just wish you could go
To someplace far away
Instead of staying in bed (bed, bed, bed)
Always painting the same
Hallway

You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)
You could have been the brightest star (ooh)
But I guess you were just too shy (ooh)
You've just seen too many ghosts (ooh)
Of people you don't know (ooh)
You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)

(Ooh) now and then I can't see
(Ooh) you're begging on your knees
(Ooh) you can say you were free
(Ooh) at least, that's what you think

'Cause I know what it's like when your mind aches (ooh)
And to feel so alone that your heart breaks (ooh)
Tired eyes when the landscape goes by (ooh)
Can't you hear what's next and make it last?

You were swallowed by the sky
On the prettiest starry night
You could have been the brightest star
But I guess you were just too shy
You've just seen too many ghosts (ooh)
Of people you don't know (ooh)
You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)

You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)
You could have been the brightest star (ooh)
But I guess you were just too shy (ooh)
You've just seen too many ghosts (ooh)
Of people you don't know (ooh)
You were swallowed by the sky (ooh)
On the prettiest starry night (ooh)

If you'd ever learned to let go
If you'd ever tried to let it show
All the pain, all the pain, everyday
All the paint, all the paint wasted
If you'd ever learned to let go
If you'd ever tried to let it show
All the pain, all the pain, everyday
All the paint, all the paint wasted
