I could paint you red, like the passion you feel It might not be colorful, but at least it'd be real
And I could paint you green, like the envy you know, when you're all alone at night With nowhere to go
And I could paint you grey, to show how you're empty To show how you don't care So the world can all see
And I could paint you clear I'd make you graceful I'd make you beautiful 'Cause that's what you are
And I could paint you taupe Because they say that it's soothing But you're like a drug to me That could use some abusing
And I could paint you gold To show you're immortal Would that make you honest? Would it make you sincere?
Scarlet and Clover, all the things we talked about Violet and Green and the world in between The grey skies in your blue eyes, broken hearts are all that you know
I could be clear Yeah you could see through me And I could be beautiful Just to be yours
Just to be...
I could paint you clear, I'd make you graceful I'd make you beautiful Cause that's what you are
And I could be clear, and I could be graceful I swear I'd be colorful just to be yours
