About Million Dollar Houses (The Painter)

Vic Fuentes in a track-by-track for AltPress: “I wrote this song as a gift to my parents. It’s meant to be my dad talking to my mom. My dad has worked very hard his entire life as a painting contractor, struggling and fighting to make enough money to keep us going. We recently had to sell our house because things were just getting too expensive to afford anymore. This song is about how through all the years, my mom and dad have never let money tear them apart, and no matter how bad things got, they’ve always had each other. .

Million Dollar Houses (The Painter) Lyrics

[00:00.21] So what if I was just a painter
[00:04.85] Painting houses on the rich blue coast?
[00:09.00] Would you ever try to leave me
[00:13.05] For somebody who deserves you most?
[00:17.22] 'Cause darling, I am just a painter
[00:21.48] I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
[00:25.62] I'm gonna make a million dollars
[00:29.84] 'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
[00:34.22] For diamonds and gold
[00:38.53] For diamonds and gold
[00:42.41] 'Cause I've broken bones for you and for you only
[00:49.05] I make money but we just can't keep this home
[00:53.08] Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
[00:57.30] (We can run, we can run, we can run now)
[01:01.58] (We can run, we can run, run)
[01:03.79] She's like a bullet through an ocean
[01:07.75] I still remember how you moved so slow
[01:11.94] You tried to kill me with your shotgun
[01:15.40] Bang! Now we're even
[01:17.95] We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
[01:22.21] We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
[01:24.90] I've broken bones for you and for you only
[01:31.16] I make money but we just can't keep this home
[01:35.12] Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
[01:39.53] We can run, we can run, we can run now
[01:43.55] We can run, we can run, baby, you're my hope
[01:48.49]
[01:51.85]
[02:04.19] Permanently yours
[02:07.49]
[02:13.15] Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun
[02:20.88] As times like this run up my wrists
[02:25.04] She hates all of the guts and blood
[02:29.34] Splash around with me
[02:32.70] While we move like flames on burning sheets
[02:37.40] Your doctor won't stop calling me (her medication)
[02:45.16] But baby, no, sometimes things
[02:49.44] Don't work out the way we've planned
[02:54.41] To live is just to fall asleep, to die is to awaken
[03:18.94] Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
[03:23.47] But I'll fight for you 'til then
[03:27.35] And if they stole you from me
[03:30.35] On my arm there's a tattoo of your name
[03:35.30] I've broken bones for you and for you only
[03:41.47] I make money but fuck money, we want love
[03:45.50] Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
[03:50.90] (We can run)
[03:52.97] (We can run)
[03:55.19] We can run, run
[03:57.58]
