Paint Me With Your Love

My first year at college I was studying art
Sid Larson said, “Sorry if this sounds unkind
But as your Painting professor, your artwork tells me
You’re almost completely colorblind”
#PRE-CHORUS
He said, “Red trees, purple skies
You’re in a different world from normal eyes”
But I kept painting on my own
Hung my art in my apartment—for my eyes alone
And I said…
#CHORUS
Painting’s what I love
Splash the canvas with paint
Painting’s what I love
Any colors, no constraints
#INSTRUMENTAL

Sonya was a former model learning fashion design
On date number four she said, “Let’s go to your place”
I joked, “My colorblind paintings aren’t for fashionable eyes”
She said, “Hey, I’ll model for you, want to see ‘em, can’t wait”
#PRE-CHORUS
When she saw my artwork
She exclaimed ecstatically
“Your love of life shines through your art
Now, will you please paint me”
And she said…
#CHORUS
Paint me with your love
I wanna see how well you paint
Paint me with your love
Any colors, no restraints
Put as much love into me
As you put into your art
Oh, paint me with your love
With all your heart

So, I got out a fresh white canvas
Told her to pose in a chair
But she began unbuttoning her shirt
And taking down her hair
What she said next
Almost made me faint
She said, “I’m not looking for a painting
I want to wear your paint”
#VERSE
I covered her in colors that looked awesome to my eyes
Applied the paint thickly, till my masterpiece was done
I’m not sure if Sid Larson would have been proud
But I guarantee Rembrandt never had that much fun
And she said…
#CHORUS
Paint me with your love
I’ll be the canvas for your paint
Paint me with your love
Any colors, no restraints
Put as much love into me
As you put into your art
Oh, baby, paint me with your love
With all your heart
#CHORUS
Paint me with your love
I’ll be the canvas for your paint
Paint me with your love
Any colors, no restraints
Put as much love into me
As you put into your art
Oh, baby, paint me with your love
With all your heart
#OUTRO
We dated all through college
Then I joined a band on tour
She flew to Paris for her future
Never painted her anymore…
