[Verse:]

Life was black and white

Until you showed me all the colors

I can’t forget that night you

Made the sunset the eighth wonder of the world

I miss your cotton candy swirls

[Pre:}

Every time i go to bed i see your paint still on my ceiling

I don’t know how it got there, but im stuck on this

Feeling of


[Chorus:]

Your brush strokes

Hair on my neck

It’s cut throat

When I say something wrong

In a moment your gone

Coulda struck gold

I’m filled with regret

My heart’s broke

But you’d paint it back on

In a moment it washes away


[Verse:]

You made me feel like life

Was more than disconnected moments

Found a way to stitch them up into a tapestry you wove behind your eyes

And you barely even try


[Pre:]

Every time i go to bed i stare at paint stuck on my ceiling

And i don’t even care cause it reminds me of the feeling of your


[Chorus:]

Brush strokes

Hair on my neck

It’s cut throat

When I say something wrong

In a moment your gone

I struck gold

I’m filled with regret

My heart’s broke

But you’d paint it back on

In a moment it washes away

Washes away

It washes away

Washes away


[Bridge:]

There’s pain on my chest

And there paint on my bed

I try to wash you out

But im kinda loving how

There’s a faint silhouette

Of a life i could get

Where i’d never have to doubt

That we can make the world shine


[Chorus:]

Without your brush strokes

Hair on my neck

It’s cut throat

When I say something wrong

In a moment your gone

I struck gold

I’m filled with regret

My heart’s broke

But you’d paint it back on

In a moment it washes away


[Chorus:]

Brush strokes

Hair on my neck

It’s cut throat

When I say something wrong

In a moment your gone

I struck gold

I’m filled with regret

My heart’s broke

But you’d paint it back on

In a moment it washes away
