I've been waiting a while

Where the sun burnt the sea

Was I down when you wanted me to be

Tell me which of your lies

Was I meant to believe

Oh was I down when you wanted me to be

Well hold me in your arms

I'm in the eye of the storm

Tell me we're not coming here no more

Oh you hurt you hurt me again I'm sure

And you paint me the same pretty picture as before

And it's beautiful 'til the colors run

It's beautiful 'til the colors run

I'll be sailing away

Though you warned me to stay

As the face that you see in the sky

I've been bound and alone

I trace the chains to your throne

Was I down when you wanted me to be

Well let's go fly a plane

And when it breaks we'll fly a kite

But I'm not going up this isn't right

Oh you hurt you hurt me again I'm sure

And you paint me the same pretty picture as before

And it's beautiful 'til the colors run

It's beautiful

You're the ghost of childhood who haunts the bay

Well on the rocks where

I once stood a blue guitar I played

In the empty parking lot that the order keys

With my hands tied

In a knot of promises we've made

Oh you hurt you hurt me again I'm sure

And you paint me the same pretty picture as before

And it's beautiful 'til the colors run

It's beautiful 'til the colors run

It's beautiful
