Paintings Lyrics

I closed my eyes when I was driving

Hoping headlights would take me

All of the bad things consumed me

I didn't know what I was doing

I just thought that she liked me

I just wanted the cursing

To end when I was fucking yearning

Dilapidated and woeful

I sat and waited feeling hopeful

She had a prozac heart

She hadn't been touched before

By the works of art

On the museum walls and doors

And I had a passion for painting

So I hoped she'd liked all the things I'd been making

It wasn't long before

I heard knocks on the outside of my bedroom door

Asking if I wanted some coffee

We went out and I swear we couldn't stop talking

And now I sit silently

Staring at the drying paint

Portraits of her face

Will haunt me in the everglades

Made up of tears and wild flowers

Given to me that have sat for hours

On the dashboard of my car

Now they're wilting up

And dying inside my heart

Because every second without her

Feels like I'm drowning

In ocean water

Oh somebody help me

Oh somebody help me

Oh Eliza

You've gone away and I'm dying

So I guess there's no sense in hiding

That I love you

Oh I love you

I love you

Oh Eliza

You've gone away and I'm dying

So I guess there's no sense in hiding

That I love you

Oh I love you

I love you

And now I sit silently

Staring at the drying paint

Portraits of her face

Will haunt me in the everglades

Made up of tears and wild flowers

Given to me that have sat for hours

On the dashboard of my car

Now they're wilting up

And dying inside my heart

Because every second without her

Feels like I'm drowning

In ocean water

Oh somebody help me

Oh somebody help me
