Lyrics
White Canvas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stories are painted
In lines on your face
Misunderstandings and little mistakes
A chance to start over
Is all that it takes, you know if you do
Your life is a canvas, the colors are you
Follow me out, follow me round
Let's make the road up as we go along
Just as we planned
You want to believe it, you know that it's true
Your life is a canvas, the colours are you
You cannot erase them
The words that were said
Just paint them over inside of your head
All that is needed
You know you must make just one leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place
Follow me out, follow me round
Let's make it up and go back
To where we began
All that is needed is one leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place
Anywhere you'll ever go
Everyone you'll ever know
You may never find it
Everyone you'll ever see
Anyone you choose to be
How you look will decide
What you see
Follow the moon
Follow the sun
Let's make a deal this time
To stay with the plan
All that is needed is one leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place
Stories are painted
In the lines of your face
