And we're crazy
kind of counterparts
You got your brushes, I got my guitar
We can paint or sing it all away,
put stuff on hold to face another day, tell the whole
story on a single page, take to the gallery,
take to the stage, but how I wish I could
be more like you.
A heart that gives us such a pretty view,
free of judgment, and full of hope.
You see the world like a kaleidoscope,
and you twist and turn the
colors all around.
And I shake my head at
all the light you've found
I'll write you a song if you paint me again
And can you paint me looking
happier than this?
Promise me you're always
gonna be my friend
Cause understanding me is hit and miss
At the heart of it is the art of it
Songs and pictures
Songs and pictures
I've known girls who only call in spring
And girls who think that
they know everything
Funny girls who hide inside a clown
And girls who didn't
mean to let me down
And I may have turned away,
if not for you I try to look at things the way you do
Your definition to my blurry lines
Your pink and yellow to
my black and white
I'll write you a song if
you paint me again
Can you paint me looking
happier than this?
Promise me you're al ways
gonna be my friend
Cause understanding me is hit or miss
At the heart of it, is the art of it
Songs and pictures,
songs and pictures
Now the songs are sounding
all brand new
As I add the pictures that
I see through you
And you paint my heart like it's unbroken
A thousand words and nothing spoken
I'll write you a song if you paint me again
And can you paint me looking
happier than this?
Promise me you're always
gonna be my friend
It's understanding me, it's hitting me
At the heart of it, is the art of it
Songs and pictures
