lyrics

Hazy-eyed troubadour
Sing me a song on your 12-string
Running on ideals and all of the pretty things
That you believe in.

I tend to overthink
Watching my words on a TV screen
Fitted in my head, I’m subtle but I can’t help falling …

CHORUS
Oh what a pair we make
Better than pieces of puzzle games
they would fit perfectly in a world of gray
But oh – the colors we’d paint
Oh the colors we’d paint. (pause after 1)

VERSE 2
Doesn’t make sense to them
To you it’s all or nothing
Your mind is intense burning
Patterns into my silhouette

And we tend to disagree
On everything but frankly
It’s for a moment – it never lasts I’m still falling…

CHORUS
Oh what a pair we make
Better than pieces of puzzle games
they would fit perfectly in a world of gray
But oh – the colors we’d paint
Oh the colors we’d paint

BRIDGE
It’s you and me against the world.
Beside each other every turn
Have I found someone to be somebody to?
To dive into?

Oh what a pair we make
Better than pieces of puzzle games
They would fit perfectly in a world of gray
But oh – the colors we’d –
Oh what a pair we make
Better than pieces of puzzle games
They would fit perfectly in a world of gray
But oh – the colors we’d paint
Oh, the colors we’d paint
Oh, the colors we’d paint.
