lyrics

She lives in the frames
Imagination
On old canvas with paint
The artist was human
Like me and like you
He painted the truth of our longing for love
The young woman sighs
Relieves the frustration
Of singular life
And anticipation
Of meeting the one
That will end her caressing of soft teddy bears
Screaming like hope
The moon lights your face
And its perfect to show
You’ve got my same case
Getting lost in the sea of
The whole human race
You could be my painting girl
The game of ping pong
Is played with our eyes
As we act like we’re calm
Hearts racing inside
They are very concerned that
We might give them up to each other real soon
The life of the party
Can stay with the group
I’ll leave them alone
I’m fixated on you
The expression you give
So perfectly matches the girl on the wall
There’s no escaping inspiration here
That someone else can share the hopefulness and fear
One touch from you can make it worth it all these years,
Waiting for my painting girl
Most of the time
I meet expectations
But when I’m with you
I go on vacation
Living for life
For root beer floats, smiles, and my painting girl
