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

For diamonds and gold

For diamonds and gold

'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 baby, run now

We can run baby, run.

She's like a bullet through an ocean

I still remember how you moved so slow

You tried to kill me with a shotgun

Bang! now we're even

We don't stop till someone's bleeding

(We don't stop till someone's bleeding)

'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 baby, run now

We can run baby, run baby, you're my hope.

Permanently yours

Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun

As times like this run up my wrist

She hates all of the guts and blood

Splash around with me while we move like flames on burning sheets

And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication.

But baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we planned

To live is just to fall asleep

To die is to awake

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love

But I'll fight for you till then

And if they stole you from me

On my arm there's a tattoo of your name.

I've broken bones for you, and for you only

I make money, but fuck money we want love

Give me your heart and your hand and we can run!
