lyrics

you're just enough to show
a portrait to know
you're just enough to show
what i don't know

i watched myself fall apart
as i stood
on zachary's front yard
i told myself what i didn't know
everything you had to show to me

you were my portrait
i was your paintbrush
guess the only lesson
is you can't rush love

when we ran up the stairs,
oh what a view was so nice
but you were all on my mind

you were a paintbrush
i was your tool
we were once lovers
but now i'm your fool

when i woke my eyes
saw that the sun was still there
but you were nowhere in sight

that was the prettiest dream i ever had
staring at a painting so beautiful,
everything wasn't so bad

you were my paintbrush
you were my canvas
you were my landscape painted,
so cordially planted
on a 4x4 frame
but who am i to blame?

it was only just a dream
but a portrait so real
