paint u by number

You're a Sunday in the middle of June when it's raining and there's nothing to do
I could color you in with yellow and blue but we both know that wouldn't do
You're a sunset in the middle of May when there's no clouds to get in the way
I could color you in with orange and grey but we both know colors all fade
And I just love looking at you
A photograph just will not do

If I paint you by number I'll need a little thunder and rain to open the sky
And I'll talk to the angels and borrow a rainbow cuz I wanna get it right
A masterpiece that's incomplete is beautiful yet bittersweet
Who knows what I'll discover if I paint you by number

You're an ocean with something to hide
You're a sea bird when it's in flight
You're a firework show on the Fourth of July
But you hear that all of the time
And I just love looking at you
There's no other place with this view

If I paint you by number I'll need a little thunder and rain to open the sky
And I'll talk to the angels and borrow a rainbow cuz I wanna get it right
A masterpiece that's incomplete is beautiful yet bittersweet
Who knows what I'll discover if I paint you by number

And I can't keep looking at you
Cuz I always see something new

If I paint you by number I'll wait till the summer cuz I want you by my side
And I'll talk to the angels and borrow some hazel just so it matches your eyes
If I paint you by number I'll need a little thunder and rain to open the sky
And I'll talk to the angels and borrow a halo cuz baby you burn so bright
A masterpiece that's incomplete is beautiful yet bittersweet
Who knows what I'll discover if I paint you by number
