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, noFor 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
And we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby runShe'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 evenWe don't stop till someone's bleeding
We don't stop till someone's bleedingI'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
And we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby run, baby you're my hopePermanently yours.
Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and bloodSplash around with me
While we move like flames on burning sheets
Your doctor won't stop calling me
Her medicationBut baby no, sometimes things
Don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep
To die is to awakenMaybe 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 nameI'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
We can run, we can run, we can run
We can run, we can run, we can run
