Masterpiece

 

Your body is the canvas

And we didn’t plan this

There’s no going back now, go the rounds

Tell me you’ve got a handle

 

What a pretty canvas

Show me the colors, I’ll grab the paintbrush

And see where my mind can take us

How much can we lose us?

 

Can we stay, Are we able to stay right here?

I don’t want to go nowhere, today

As we lay, roll around all day, In the messes we’ve made

I wouldn’t change a thing

Keep on loving me, I’ll make you a masterpiece

 

Lips that are untraceable, hands irreplaceable

Don’t you ever release our hold

 

Dusk approaching, shades wide open for the world to see

See something that many only dream

 

Red’s not a bad look,

You got me shook and shaking in all the right places

This must be how Van Gogh would feel when his mind led him

 

Say that you’re happy now, and that’s how you’ll stay

I am so happy now, I find myself forgetting to breathe

If these walls crash to ground, what would you think?

Would you believe in me?

 

Cause I believe in you, my masterpiece
