[Verse 1]

I've seen paintings that are real lives

And I've seen real lives that are just sketches

I can say because I've been inside of them

[Chorus]

And the deeper you go

The smaller you get

You're a line on a road

Then a point on a pen

The deeper you go

[Verse 2]

Thought my love for you was all time

Turns out all that time I never loved you

Some of us can make a sketch of love to fall in

And I did

[Chorus]

But love makes you grow

So it never quite fit

That the deeper I'd go

The smaller I'd get

The deeper I'd go

[Verse 3]

Went out walking just to see the sunrise

Stayed the same size, turned pink and orange

I can say 'cause I've been painting myself back
