เนื้อเพลง Paint Your Own World Teddy Swims
[Lyrics]
[INTRO]
(Ooh...)
(Nobody's coming to save you...)
[VERSE 1]
I was staring at the gray on the living room wall
Waiting for the sky to answer my call
I cursed at the rain and I blamed the cold
I sat in the corner just feeling old
I said everybody left me, I said it was unfair
But I was the one who put the locks on the door right there...
[PRE-CHORUS]
I kept waiting for a savior, waiting for a spark
Complaining 'bout the shadows while I hid in the dark
I looked at my hands and the canvas unfurled...
[COMPLETE SILENCE]
You gotta paint your own world.
[CHORUS]
Nobody's coming with the colors you need!
You gotta mix the water with the tears that you bleed!
You can sit in the dark and curse at the night
Or you can pick up the brush and make your own light!
Stop waiting on a miracle, stop waiting on a girl...
You gotta paint your own world!
(Yeah, you gotta paint it!)
[VERSE 2]
It’s a heavy pill to swallow, it’s a bitter kind of truth
To realize the only one holding you down... is you.
I expected you to come and color inside of my lines
But you were busy out there drawing outside of mine
So I’m washing the brushes, I’m clearing the slate
I'm done letting somebody else decide my fate.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I kept waiting for a savior, waiting for a spark
Complaining 'bout the shadows while I hid in the dark
I looked at my hands and the canvas unfurled...
[COMPLETE SILENCE]
You gotta paint your own world.
[CHORUS]
Nobody's coming with the colors you need!
You gotta mix the water with the tears that you bleed!
You can sit in the dark and curse at the night
Or you can pick up the brush and make your own light!
Stop waiting on a miracle, stop waiting on a girl...
You gotta paint your own world!
[SAXOPHONE SOLO]
[OUTRO]
If it's black and white...
It's 'cause you made it that way.
Pick up the brush.
(Mmm...)
Paint your own world.
