Paint Me Blue

I BEEN THINKING DARLING BOUT MY LOVE FOR YOU
WHILE THE LIGHTS BEEN DANCING ON THE WALLS
OF MY EMPTY ROOM
AND SOMEONE’S CRYING BUT I
I DON’T THINK IT’S YOU
YOU CAN PAINT ME BLUE

YOU BEEN ATTACKING MY HEART
AND GAINING GROUND
I BEEN FLYING JUST AS HIGH AS I CAN
BUT I STILL WAKE UP DOWN
I SEE A FUTURE THAT LEAVES ME FREE TO LOVE
FREE OF YOU
YOU CAN PAINT ME BLUE

ONLY MONA LISA KNOWS HOW I FEEL
WHEN YOU ASK ME TO GO AWAY
PUT MY BED IN THE LOUVRE AND I’D MOVE
JUST TO BE WITH HER
SHE’S THE CLOSEST THING TO YOU
SHE CAN PAINT ME BLUE

I BEEN THINKING
WHILE THE LIGHTS BEEN DYING
SOMEONE’S CRYING BUT I
I DON’T THINK IT’S YOU
YOU CAN PAINT ME BLUE
