"Paint it Black and Blue," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

Spray paint your story on the sidewalk.

Beat up and bruised more than twice.

The veneer is thin, and it makes cheap talk.

The stain comes with a price.

 

CHORUS:

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

Paint it gray and brown on the side.

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

One day a rainbow of color

Will bring the whole world to life.

‘Till then, paint it black and blue.

 

VERSE:

Some see the whole world in lights.

You see the whole world in shades.

It really seems more black and white,

With not much red anyway.

 

CHORUS:

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

Paint it gray and brown on the side.

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

One day a rainbow of color

Will bring the whole world to life.

‘Till then, paint it black and blue.

 

BRIDGE:

This life isn’t an accident,

But it’s filled with collisions.

Try to be compassionate,

And full of night vision.

 

CHORUS:

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

Paint it gray and brown on the side.

Paint it black and blue if you want to.

One day a rainbow of color

Will bring the whole world to life.

 

TAG:

‘Till then, paint it black and blue.        

‘Till then, paint it black and blue.
