Witness - Watercolors lyrics

[Verse 1: Witness] I found a picture perfect pigment on the palette for once And if I spilled it on the sky, it could challenge the sun I'm gathering umbrellas just to salvage it from The doubt on your tongue and any rain clouds if they come Because you got watercolors underneath your eyelids Painted on the oleander canvas of your iris And it's a shame they get diluted and dim Every time a little rain comes through with the wind We've been separated by the longitude And we'll be woven back together when the needle in the compa** moves I can't promise you the moon But I could guarantee a garden if you'd let the sunshine soon So sugar show me the symmetry hidden beneath your breastbone Break a piece that I can carry with me when you've left home And if the weather ever finger paints your day black I'll light another match so you can navigate your way back [Hook] Because I've met a lot of those that put the "lie" in "I believe in you" But I believe you do, I believe you do [Verse 2: Witness] Misunderstood Lost the footing and I fell hard That's when the fireflies died in the bell jar I used to pray that they would be awake in June When that origami sunset folds to a paper moon The skyline blushes when it breaks dawn The highway stretches and the interstate yawns but I never sleep when the give and take's gone When it's freezing in the place that we used to wake on I was too ambitious and too damn timid And too thrilled when the gla** was half filled to wonder what was in it But you're a cynic when the magic still exists Till you stifle all the winds that send the daffodils adrift And that's the reason that the kite fell flat, love And if you wanted it might sail right back up Just hold the tether tight when the black wind blows And promise me that you'll chase it if you let the string go
