I’ll Paint Little Stars

[electroclash repetitive intro] [verse 1] The washed out polaroid in my pocket You and me intertwined in the same jacket I keep running my thumb on the edges Till they curl Till they curl Till they curl! Your stupid song that I almost remember Every word on the tip of my temper I keep humming the part that I treasure Till it hurts Till it hurts Till it hurts! [chorus] Tell me all your almosts Every half-meant dare I’ll save them in my notebook Like pressed flowers there If the world feels heavy And your eyes look red I’ll paint little stars On your hands instead [verse 2] That cheap perfume you wore in December Still caught in the sleeve of my sweater I keep breathing it in like a secret Till it’s gone Till it’s gone Till it’s gone! That melody you sang in the kitchen Out of tune but it stuck in my system I keep looping the part with your laugh Till it burns Till it burns Till it burns! [soulful bridge] I almost told you In the car that night With the radio low And the dashboard light If I reach for you Will you stay or go I can never tell I just need to know! [final chorus] Tell me all your fears Every half-meant scare I’ll save them in my notebook Little buggy nightmares If the world feels heavy And my eyes look red I’ll paint little stars On my dreams instead [outro] If the world feels heavy And my eyes look red I’ll paint little stars... On my dreams instead. [outro] If the world feels heavy And my eyes look red I’ll paint little stars... [drop] On my my dreams instead. [end]
