Adam Tell - Coat of Paint

Let's not dwell on this;
mistakes happen, let's move on
We shouldn't take tallies.
They proved that system wrong

If you wash your hands,
use my dirty water
We can come clean
and we should do it together

We've got stories,
Roller coaster stories
And we can make this moment a tale of conquered seas

Cause I would cross an ocean
of all our worst emotions
to never lose the feeling your smile gives me

We're standing on - a solid base.
This house just needs - a coat of paint
Attention falls - on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

Conversation crash,
never mind, that came out wrong (Don't listen to me)
Let me rephrase the way I sing your song
Everything to lose,
I won't take you for granted
Why say it plainly over something romantic

We've got memories,
disenchanted memories
We can overwhelm them with time we frame today
And give us new perspective
for when we feel reflective
We can't be naive but we can meet halfway

We're standing on - a solid base
This house just needs - a coat of paint
Attention falls - on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all-

All we know is what we choose to see
And all we are is whom we choose to be

We're standing on - a solid base
This house just needs - a coat of paint
Attention falls - on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we've already lost it all
