PAINT A PICTURE
If there were one thing that I could do,
I would not hesitate.
If there were ten things that I could do,
I would do every one before that day were through.
And when I go for a kiss, I always miss.
It's not my aim, I know,
but it hurts me so
to miss those lips.
Move out of my way-
I'm coming through.
If you don't want to listen,
you don't have to;
but I've got to say
I've really missed you,
and when I hold you
I've always known you.
You always say
that you don't know me.
I think that's bullshit
and you know this.
If you want to convince me
it's real easy;
you've just got to do it
to yourself first.
Paint a picture for please
because I'm running out of memories.
Take your picture with me please
so I don't forget you-
as if I could.
So I'll hug myself to sleep tonight,
but if you're smart it'll be you the next time.
You could be my blanket every night-
I'd wear your arms like a sweater so tight.
But if you don't catch up to me soon
I might just grow out of you
and you could be painting those pictures alone
just like so many years ago.
Paint a picture with me please
because I'm running out of memories.
Take your picture with me please
so I don't forget you-
as if I could.
Paint a new picture with me
so I don't forget you-
as if I could.
