Lyrics
You've got the scent of acrylic paint on your fingertips
You have the smell of acrylic paint on your fingertips
As you brush away the flood pouring from your eyes
You are wiping away tears, overwhelmed by emotion
Tethered by the world outside
Feeling connected to the external world
No portrait or canvas of hues or sculpture of ice would suffice
No artistic creation seems sufficient to express your feelings
You're weary of the ivory keys on your piano
You are tired of playing the piano keys
Playing distant strains of a song you used to know
Playing a distant melody from the past
The feeling you perceive is unknown
The emotions you're experiencing are unfamiliar
But there's echoes of memories portraying the comfort of home
Memories reflect a sense of comfort
You may have never learned how to voice your thoughts
You struggle to express your thoughts verbally
The way people ought
You may not communicate as expected
To do when they can't
Coping with the challenge of creating art
Endure the burden of making art
Enduring the difficulty of artistic expression
You've reached the sky but aimed for the stars
You have achieved success but aspired for more
With all my heart
An expression of deep sincerity and love
My darling you must
Encouraging belief in one's self-worth
Believe when I say you are more than enough to me
Affirmation that the person is more than enough
An empty glass of wine reflects a ray of light
An empty wine glass reflects a glimmer of hope
Your inspired heart has left you sleep-deprived
Inspiration has caused sleepless nights
You've never drowned but now you might
A metaphorical suggestion of feeling overwhelmed
Did you ever consider you're putting your bar up too high?
A caution to reconsider setting high expectations
You may have never learned how to voice your thoughts
You struggle to express your thoughts verbally (repeated)
The way people ought
You may not communicate as expected (repeated)
To do when they can't
Coping with the challenge of creating art (repeated)
Endure the burden of making art
Enduring the difficulty of artistic expression (repeated)
You've reached the sky but aimed for the stars
You have achieved success but aspired for more (repeated)
With all my heart
An expression of deep sincerity and love (repeated)
My darling you must
Encouraging belief in one's self-worth (repeated)
Believe when I say you are more than enough to me
Affirmation that the person is more than enough (repeated)
