I like thinking of color as an emotion, because it really is. black and blue make me feel kind of introspective. bright reds, yellows and oranges make me feel excited and adventurous. so, this is a story about an artist who does magic with his brush.

Lyrics

how can this feel so right


and how come this took oh so long


and here you are love


When I needed you most love


I fell in love with a painter that day



He painted my heart..

Right from the start..

He painted my heart..



You were the artist


That painted for me


You put colors where it once black and grey


You painted my heart love


Made it bright red love


And when you go love


You'll have to paint it back again




You painted my heart

The story just starts

You painted my heart
