I paint you red
like the wine we drink
then I paint you green
with my envy
I paint you yellow
like the flashing light
in front of my house
telling me to always
slow down
we go way too fast
'til my brain
can no longer reflect
the color of you
color the color of you

my eyes are digging straight through your skin
to see your personality within
my eyes are digging right to your spin
to see how much of a heart I can find

I paint you red
like a newborn's birth
then I paint you green
like you're deadly
I paint you yellow
like the sunshine
that falls on my back
there is a
there is a doorway
you always open
just to remind me
the color of you
color the color of you

my eyes are digging straight through your skin
to see your personality within
my eyes are digging right to your spin
to see how much of a heart I can find

I paint you red and blue and black
and purple and grey
all of the beautiful colors of you
color the color of you
