Lyrics:
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

Cause I've broken bones for you
And for you only
I make the money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand
And 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
You tried to kill me with a shotgun
Bang, now we're even
We don't stop till someone's bleeding

Cause I've broken bones for you
And for you only
I make the 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 my hope

Permanently yours
Sometimes, the moon looks brighter than the sun
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood
Splash around with me
While we move like flames on burning sheets
And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication
But, baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep
To die is to awaken

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But, I'll fight for you till then
And if he stole you from me
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name

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