Darian Atwood - "Paint" Lyrics:
She was an artist
She thought big and planned her career
She knew where her heart lived
wetting paper with paint drops and tears
She'd laugh when I'd tell her
I'd look better without the big ears
Then she'd turn the paper
Of the notebook that she's had for years
A few pages later
A boundary proceeded to lift
Then wheels hit the pavement
The door flew open wide with a kiss
I've never felt welcomed
Into anyone else's arms like this
Teach me how to play your favorites, I'll sing 'em softer for you
Tell me why your soul's outdated, I'm feeling younger with you
For all the times my heart's been swapped and traded, I find a lover in you
So paint me one last time
He was a canvas
He barely could stand on his own
But there he stood, naked
A picture of you was the lock on his phone
And who could've known
The clear plastic film had been missed all along
So there he stood, painted
A guitar in hand as he sang her a song
Teach me how to play your favorites, I'll sing 'em softer for you
Tell me why your soul's outdated, I'm feeling younger with you
For all the times my heart's been swapped and traded, I find a lover in you
So paint me one last time
Teach me how to cook your favorites, I'll bake a hundred for you
Tell me why your painting's sacred, it'll only darken the bruise
For all the times my love's been used and wasted, I find a lesson in you
So hold me one last time
