Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I wake to sunlight prying at the blinds,
Your denim jacket draped across the chair — the one with paint on the right sleeve.
On the counter, a mug with a ring of yesterday's map,
You circled the pier where we learned to kiss in the rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the room goes quiet and the frame slides cold,
You shove a match into the dark and fold me bold.
[Chorus]
You paint the colors in my heart,
Quick strokes of truth, a bright and honest start.
You paint the colors in my heart,
Edge of gold, a crimson line through every part.
Keep my color, keep my color —
(keep my color, keep my color)
[Verse 2]
We argued under the station lights, tickets torn in two,
You caught my coat as the train pulled out — you said we’d find a way through.
There’s a dent in your old bicycle where you crashed on Highway 9,
I still keep the Polaroid of your crooked grin, the way you look at mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the world comes heavy, when the streetlight bends,
You hum the little song that irons out the end.
[Chorus]
You paint the colors in my heart,
Quick strokes of truth, a bright and honest start.
You paint the colors in my heart,
Edge of gold, a crimson line through every part.
Keep my color, keep my color —
(keep my color, keep my color)
[Bridge]
There was that Tuesday — rain like small apologies,
We lost the map, the cafe closed, our pockets full of quiet.
You pressed your fingers to the paper where I’d marked the shore,
“We’ll patch the night with coffee stains and streetlight gold,” you swore.
I folded up my fear and you folded it into your coat,
We stitched the ragged hours with the jokes we wrote.
[Chorus — Lifted]
You paint the colors in my heart,
Brighter than the bruises, truer than the scars.
You paint the colors in my heart,
Turn every broken corner into Northern stars.
Keep my color, keep my color —
(keep my color, keep my color)
[Outro]
So bring me rain and bring me morning light,
Bring the crooked tickets and the midnight flights.
With you, the small things turn to lighthouse songs,
With you, I find the color where I belong.
You Paint the Colors
