Paint Your Picture
Canvas of Love: Showaddywaddy's Melody of Connection
Lyrics
You and me, we both agree,
You and I both agree
It hurts to be unkind, upsets the mind,
Hurting others is painful and disturbs the mind
So I say to you, 'what's going on'?.
Expressing confusion about the current situation
You really are my kind,
Affirmation that the person is genuinely liked
I've got the time spare for you.
Availability and willingness to spend time for the other person
And I like to paint your picture on my mirror,
Expressing a desire to create a representation of the person on a mirror
And I'd see you as my reflection when I'm down.
Seeing the person as a reflection, especially during difficult times
I don't want to be your shadow,
Declining the role of being a mere follower or imitator
Because shadows disappear,
Awareness that shadows disappear, indicating a desire for a lasting presence
When the night falls always I want you around.
Expressing a constant wish for the person's presence during nighttime
You ask why, should you and I,
Pondering the significance of the relationship
The favourites of our kind,
Considering themselves as special or preferred among their kind
I'm really not so blind as I seem to be,
Claiming to have more insight than may be apparent
Why ask of me.
Questioning the need for explanations
To take a little more time,
Encouraging the other person to invest more time in the relationship
It really is no crime, you and me.
Stating that investing time is not a wrongdoing
And I'd like to paint your picture on my mirror,
Reiteration of the desire to create a visual representation of the person
And I'd see you as my reflection when I'm down,
Seeing the person as a reflection during low moments
I don't want to be your shadow,
Reaffirming the refusal to be a mere shadow
Because shadows disappear,
Reiterating the transient nature of shadows
When the night falls always I want you around,
Expressing the constant desire for the person's presence at night
When the night falls always I want you around.
Repeating the desire for the person's presence during nighttime
You and me, we both agree,
Recurrence of the mutual agreement between the two individuals
It hurts to be unkind, upsets the mind,
Reiteration of the emotional impact of unkindness
So I say to you, 'what's going on'?
Repeating the expression of confusion about the current situation
You really are my kind,
Reaffirmation of genuine liking for the person
I've got the time spare for you.
Reiteration of the availability of spare time for the person
And I'd like to paint your picture on my mirror,
Repetition of the desire to create a visual representation on a mirror
And I'd see you as my reflection when I'm down,
Reiteration of seeing the person as a reflection during tough times
I don't want to be your shadow, because shadows disappear,
Restating the refusal to be a mere shadow
When the night falls always I want you around,
Reemphasizing the transient nature of shadows and the constant desire for nighttime presence
When the night falls always I want you around,
Repeating the desire for the person's presence during nighttime
When the night falls always I want you around.
Continued expression of the constant wish for the person's presence during nighttime
