lyrics

Paint Box

paint me from memory
so that i know i’m on your mind
lose me again and again
‘til i’m the only thing you find
and write me in books ‘til the pages are full
so you read me in every line

‘cause, oh, birds on the wing
like us are too quick to love anything and see it through
so i’ll take my time with you

i’ll wait for poetry
before i speak to you in song
‘cause you gave me music in frailty
and i don’t want to get this wrong
so if art needs a space to write beauty from pain
then i’ll let this linger on

‘cause, home is only good
when misery’s sung in chorus and verse and not as the truth
so we can lose ourselves like lovers do

are we losing ourselves?
