Matt Pless - The Crayon Song lyrics

It's 3 AM and the conversation's spent She's waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind And she's got powders and pills Chasing thrills through dollar bills Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled As she drifts on through this dream She can share her medication but she can't out run the rain When clearly here she stands with candy in her hands She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand And I'll say "It's alright. No need to ask me twice" She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight She's gonna sing the crayon song tonight When she calls you can find her in the hall Where she's scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall She's framing false alarms until her chamber mates have gone Then she'll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on Her behavior seems insane Cause we both know you might overdose from trying to k** the pain but lately here we stand with candy in our hands Let's mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand We'll just say it's alright 'til once turns into twice Let's spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Fan the flame and race another day She'll be running all the red lights 'til the candles melt away Along this empty road where the flowers never grow Casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life she'll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free It appears that you've been down so long, it looks like up to me But sadly here I stand with candy in my hands I mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand And something's not quite right Sometimes you should think twice I spun the rings and now I'll sing the crayon song all night We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors
