Lyrics
0:10I found a picture perfect pigment on the palette for once
0:12And if I spilled it on the sky
0:14It could challenge the sun
0:15I'm gathering umbrellas just to salvage it from
0:18The doubt on your tongue and any rain clouds if they come
0:20Because you got watercolors underneath your eyelids
0:23Painted on the oleander canvas of your iris
0:26And it's a shame they get diluted and dim
0:28Every time a little rain comes through with the wind
0:31We've been separated by the longitude
0:33And we'll be woven back together
0:35When the needle in the compass moves
0:37I can't promise you the moon
0:38But I could guarantee a garden
0:40If you'd let the sunshine soon
0:41So sugar show me the symmetry hidden beneath your breastbone
0:44Break a piece that I can carry with me when you've left home
0:47And if the weather ever finger paints your day black
0:49I'll light another match
0:50You can navigate your way back
0:52I've know a lot of those
0:53That put the lie in I believe in you
0:55But I believe you do I believe you do
0:57I've know a lot of those
0:58That put the lie in I believe in you
1:00But I believe you do I believe you do
1:02I've know a lot of those
1:03That put the lie in I believe in you
1:05But I believe you do I believe you do
1:08I've know a lot of those
1:09That put the lie in I believe in you
1:10But I believe you do I believe
1:12I've misunderstood
1:14Lost the footing and I fell hard
1:16That's when the fireflies died in the bell jar
1:19I used to pray that they would be awake in june
1:21When that origami sunset folds to a paper moon
1:24The skyline blushes when it breaks dawn
1:26The highway stretches and the interstate yawns but
1:29I never sleep when the give and take's gone
1:31When it's freezing in the place that we used to wake on
1:34I was too ambitious and too damn timid and too thrilled
1:37When the glass was half filled to wonder what was in it
1:39But you're a cynic when the magic still exists
1:41Till you stifle all the winds that send the daffodils adrift
1:45And that's the reason that the kite fell flat love
1:47But if you wanted it you could sail right back up
1:49Just hold the tether tight when the black wind blows
1:52And promise me that you'll chase it
1:53If you let the string go
1:55'Cause I've know a lot of those
1:56That put the lie in I believe in you
1:57But I believe you do I believe you do
2:00I've know a lot of those
2:01That put the lie in I believe in you
2:03But I believe you do I believe you do
2:05I've know a lot of those
2:06That put the lie in I believe in you
2:08But I believe you do I believe you do
2:10I've know a lot of those
2:12That put the lie in I believe in you
2:13But I believe you do I believe you do
I found a picture perfect pigment on the palette for once And if I spilled it on the sky It could challenge the sun I'm gathering umbrellas just to salvage it from The doubt on your tongue and any rain clouds if they come Because you got watercolors underneath your eyelids Painted on the oleander canvas of your iris And it's a shame they get diluted and dim Every time a little rain comes through with the wind We've been separated by the longitude And we'll be woven back together When the needle in the compass moves I can't promise you the moon But I could guarantee a garden If you'd let the sunshine soon So sugar show me the symmetry hidden beneath your breastbone Break a piece that I can carry with me when you've left home And if the weather ever finger paints your day black I'll light another match You can navigate your way back I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe I've misunderstood Lost the footing and I fell hard That's when the fireflies died in the bell jar I used to pray that they would be awake in june When that origami sunset folds to a paper moon The skyline blushes when it breaks dawn The highway stretches and the interstate yawns but I never sleep when the give and take's gone When it's freezing in the place that we used to wake on I was too ambitious and too damn timid and too thrilled When the glass was half filled to wonder what was in it But you're a cynic when the magic still exists Till you stifle all the winds that send the daffodils adrift And that's the reason that the kite fell flat love But if you wanted it you could sail right back up Just hold the tether tight when the black wind blows And promise me that you'll chase it If you let the string go 'Cause I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do I've know a lot of those That put the lie in I believe in you But I believe you do I believe you do
