[Intro]
[Verse]
I called my mom last night
She said the monsoon winds were blowing in
And the rain fell thick on the desert brush
Like it does about twice a year
We ll be in Saginaw by three
I don t think I wish it was you and me
And the darkness plays through the lights
In every town in every state
[Pre-Chorus]
But I m not as close as I should be
And I m not as far as I d like to be
[Chorus]
So paint my heart
Paint my heart with gold and call me what you like
Just split me up
Split me up in two and keep the better side
I ll try to be that guy
I ll try to be there with your soul in mind
[Verse]
I know it s not my fault
But my sense of worth is a wrecking ball
It swings as soon as I look back
And it hits all my love
But I don t give a
Cuz I still don t think I m good enough
But you d never know I m trying to keep
What s left of growing up
[Pre-Chorus]
But I m not as close as I should be
And I m not as far as I d like to be
[Chorus]
So paint my heart
Paint my heart with gold and call me what you like
Just split me up
Split me up in two and keep the better side
I ll try to be that guy
I ll try to be there with your soul in mind
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
I used to think that the stars at night
Were some kind of metaphor for life
But I was wrong
I used to think the stars at night
Were some kind of metaphor for life
But I was wrong
I was wrong
[Chorus]
So paint my heart
Paint my heart with gold and call me what you like
Just split me up
Split me up in two and keep the better side
I ll try to be that guy
I ll try to be there with your soul in mind
