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 nobodys 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 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
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 and 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 these run up my wrist

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 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 they 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 make money, but $#&@ money we want love

Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
