verse
So what if I was just a painter
Painting houses on the rich blue coast?
Would you ever try to leave me
For somebody who deserves you most?
'Cause darling, I am just a painter
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
I'm gonna make a million dollars
'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
chorus
'Cause I've broken bones for you and for you only
I make money but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
(We can run, we can run, we can run now)
(We can run, we can run, run)
verse
She's like a bullet through an ocean
I still remember how you moved so slow
You tried to kill me with your shotgun
We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
chorus
I've broken bones for you and for you only
I make money but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, we can run now
We can run, we can run, baby, you're my hope
verse
Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood
While we move like flames on burning sheets
Your doctor won't stop calling me (her medication)
verse
But baby, no, sometimes things
Don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep, to die is to awaken
