If I Were An Artist ~ Jake Coco

I could paint you red, like the passion you feel
It might not be colorful, but at least it’d be real
And I could paint you green, like the envy you know,
When you’re all alone at night, with nowhere to go
And I could paint you grey, to show how you’re empty
To show how you don’t care
So the world can all see

And I could paint you clear,
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
'Cause that’s what you are

And I could paint you taupe
Because they say that it’s soothing
But you’re like a drug to me
That could use some abusing
And I could paint you gold
To show you’re immortal
Would that make you honest?
Would it make you sincere?

Scarlet and Clover, all the things we talked about
Violet and green and the world in between
The grey skies in your blue eyes, broken hearts are all that you know

I could be clear
Yeah you could see through me
And I could be beautiful
Just to be yours
Just to be….

I could paint you clear,
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
'Cause that’s what you are
And I could be clear, and I could be graceful
I swear I'd be colorful just to be yours

If I were an artist, then I could be yours
