Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine

Different colors in my room
I paint them all and think of you
Different colors in my head
I wish I was with you instead
Save yourself for something better
I get anxious, are you lonely too?
Staring out the upstairs window
I wish I was with you, I wish I was with you too

Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine
Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine

Nothing's right, my world's gone wrong
There's a leak and the curtain is gone
It's all stained beyond repair
Can't replace something that wasn't there
In my head
We're not selling the copper in my head
We just dance to Cyndi Lauper in my head
I paint a better picture
We'll figure out the rest
We'll figure out the rest

Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine
Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine

Bury me in this shed
Under this house I'm dead
Screaming of constructive construction
But my lungs are filled with lead
Bury me in this shed
Under this house I'm dead
Screaming of constructive construction
But my lungs are filled with lead

Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine
Maybe I could fix us
A fresh coat of paint's just fine
Carpet or the floorboards
The tiling on the roof will shine
