lyrics

The piano rings out like a bell
and I'm hearing my heart for the first time.
Coming up on an edge, taking my first step out past it
and I'm surprised I didn't lose my mind.

But those stories aren't true
and now you know you're not the only one.
Superstitious heart, the night's waiting to be painted blue.
But red's the only color I know
and my brush has always been a bit too wild for you.

Smoking a cigarette,
my man made dragon's breath,
and I'm hacking my guts out in your car.
In the ground we plant my blood
and we plant the butts
and a scratchy voiced singer knows he's growing on the corner stage in this bar.

My soul's always being saved.
I'm learning from a vision I see all the time,
that never comes back again the same.

I got a package in the mail,
filled with clothes I used to wear,
that I dumped out in the desert months ago.
So I got a few of my old shirts back
but sadly, I've move on from that
and if I decide to wear them again
I swear you'll be the first to know.

But those stories aren't true
and now you know you're not the only one.
Superstitious heart, the night's waiting to be painted blue.
But red's the only color I know
and my brush has always been a bit too wild for you.
