Paint By Numbers Lyrics
[00:12.43]Oh, what a gift it is to be noticed
[00:18.16]But it's nothing to do with me
[00:24.82]You've got to wonder if there's a reason to believe
[00:29.93]
[00:30.07]It's a lifetime of learning to paint by numbers
[00:39.54]And watching the colours run
[00:45.87]
[00:55.89]It's a little bit complicated when
[00:58.87]They put an image in your head, and now you're stuck with it
[01:01.94]You're the luckiest
[01:03.59]Oh, the irony
[01:04.72]Holding the weight of the American children whose hearts you break
[01:13.05]
[01:13.93]Was it a tragedy when you told her
[01:20.06]"I'm not even thirty-three"?
[01:26.50]A little self-compassion, and a life within your means
[01:31.53]
[01:31.60]It's a lifetime of picking from one or the other
[01:41.09]Kids with water guns
[01:48.82]Watch them run
[01:52.58]
[01:56.20]It's a lifetime of learning to paint by numbers
[02:05.53]And watching the colours run
[02:11.49]
