lyrics

You're painting pictures for a sorry day
You see the sunlight but it looks all grey out there
But I'll be with you if you say my name
I'm still inside of you baby

(so you say...)
You tried to steer but you're dead stuck astray
They want to love you but they can't foreplay, what they'll
Think about it or what they'll say, if you
Let them in you're crazy, oh

Well you color my eyes when
I can't see the light and
I can't find my way to you
Oh, well I run and I hide when
I can't be beside you
And you're all that I want to do, oh
Well you cover my eyes
When I can't handle sight, and
You're all that I need from you
Oh, I swear that I've tried and
I can't keep on trying
All the way from here to you
