So, what if I was just a painter painting houses on the rich blue coast?
Would you ever try to leave me for somebody who deserves you most?
'Cause darling I am just a painter
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
I'm gonna make a million dollars, 'cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
For diamonds and gold
For diamonds and gold

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand
Then we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby run

She's like a bullet through an ocean
I still remember how you moved so slow
Till you killed me with your shotgun
Bang, now we're even
We don't stop till someone's bleeding
We don't stop till someone's bleeding

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand
Then we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby run, baby you're mine

Permanently yours, we go
Sometimes, the moon looks brighter then the sun
It's times like this; run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood
Slash around with me
While we move like flames on burning shades
Your doctor won't stop calling me her medication

But, baby, sometimes things don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep
To die is to awake

Oh, but maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But, I'll fight for you till then
And if they stole you from you me
On my arm is a tattoo of your name

I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but fuck money we want love
Give me your heart and your hand, and we can run
