[Verse 1]
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it, it's a true work of art
[Chorus 1]
Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Whoa, the red strokes, tempered and strong

[Verse 2]
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision, that they can't command
Erasing the borders, with each brush of a hand
[Chorus 1]
Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Whoa, the red strokes, tempered and strong
Burning the night like the dawn
[Bridge]
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade, it demands to be seen
[Chorus 2]
Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Whoa, the red strokes, fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
[Chorus 2]
Oh, the red strokes, passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Whoah, the red strokes, fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
[Outro]
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never, pounded like this
