Red Paint Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
On a table lies the crust of what he had and just leaves behind
As I put bread down on the list of things that I had to buy
By the store lays your mountain bike
You on the floor still looking hard core
The colour is red under my shoe
And the friend is gone who put a hole in you
[Pre-Chorus:]
Insensitivity took a hold of me and I felt it colour me blue inside
+ I left taking a part of you like red, red paint on the sole of my shoe
Nothing to do with common sense or
[Chorus:]
Sensitivity... I'm feeling cold like concrete
Your dignity's reflecting tn the way I feel it
[Verse 2:]
Open minded; the thoughts are clear
From feeling regardless... heart beats with pain
You were oh so happy just the other day...
Now heart beats with pain took it all away
The cradle did rock for you too...
Looking out from the inside while life turns to blue
Watching all the glass faces leave their red footprints on our
[Chorus]
By the store lays your mountain bike
You on the floor no more hard core
The colour was red under my shoe
And the friend is gone who put a hole in you
Guided by the blue light that takes you away; I'm on my way home
