[Verse 1]

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine

Two shadows starting to softly combine

The picture they're painting is one of the heart

And to those who have seen it, it's a true work of art


[Chorus 1]

Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged

Thundering moments of tenderness rage

Whoa, the red strokes, tempered and strong

Burning the night like the dawn


[Verse 2]

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss

Two hearts have never pounded like this

Inspired by a vision, that they can't command

Erasing the borders, with each brush of a hand


[Chorus 1]

Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged

Thundering moments of tenderness rage

Whoa, the red strokes, tempered and strong

Burning the night like the dawn


[Bridge]

Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green

But when love picks its shade, it demands to be seen


[Chorus 2]

Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged

Thundering moments of tenderness rage

Whoa, the red strokes, fearlessly drawn

Burning the night like the dawn


[Chorus 2]

Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged

Thundering moments of tenderness rage

Whoah, the red strokes, fearlessly drawn

Burning the night like the dawn


[Outro]

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss

Two hearts have never, pounded like this
