I'm gonna try to paint the world
Just like we did when we were kids
I don't know where to draw the lines
I wouldn't do it if I did
I'll paint the trees a shade of green
I'll fill the ocean in with blue
Use every color that I have
Still couldn't paint someone like you
'Cause the hardest part is a person and a heart
That's the only thing I could never draw
'Cause I don't know when someone starts where they end
And I can't draw lines that could hold them in
The finest line that I could draw
The one that almost makes it real
The one that looks just like your face
Still couldn't show just how you feel
'Cause the hardest part is a person and a heart
That's the only thing I could never draw
'Cause I don't know when someone starts where they end
And I can't draw lines that could hold them in
What color is heartache? What color is grief?
What color is laughter? What color are dreams?
How do you draw lonely? Where do you start?
How do you draw everything we are?
The hardest part is a person and a heart
That's the only thing I could never draw
'Cause I don't know when someone starts where they end
And I can't draw lines that could hold them in
