Lyrics

Paint

We were trying, but we're trying no more

It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor

This house has never been the same as before

It's never felt warm, never felt warm

There's something moving through the windows and walls

I've seen it before, seen it before

You left me living with a lingering soul,

How little you know, how little you know

We were standing at the foot of a path

I had to go back, had to go back

I chose to travel as a lonely man

So much that I lacked, so much that I lacked

I'm always wishing I was walking that road

It's something I hold, something I hold

I take it with me all the places I go

How little you know, how little you know

I only eat to fill me up

I only sleep to rest

I need a love just like you gave

I haven't found it yet, found it yet

See, where I am is where I'm wanting to be

I know what I need, know what I need

And there are many different places to see

I know how to dream, know how to dream

Still there's a wound and I'm moving slow

Though it don't show, though it don't show

I've got a hole where nothing grows

How little you know little you know

I only eat to fill me up

I only sleep to rest

I need a love just like you gave

I haven't found it yet, found it yet

Maybe we'd marry and we'd work it out fine

In some other time, some other time

And we are happy when I'm walking that line

It's all in my mind, all in my mind

I paint the ceiling so that nobody knows

I cover it slow, cover it slow

It's like you've never even met me before

How little I show, little I show
