paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be
showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen
always finding adventure on those hills
my map was always changing with each passing day
i'd too many dreams to count
as i wondered if someday i could fly
learned that i was weak with one storm
making me feel small as the raindrops start to fall
ricocheting up into my heart
i can see a million rays of light as they collide
lighting up the world in every direction
and all that's left's the afterimage burned inside mind
showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen
why did we try to cover all those bright memories?
like they were things we didn't want to see
but the home we cherished lived inside our dreams
and that beauty i can't speak for
but it was more beautiful
and even now i haven't found a single thing anywhere
this scenery we've been painting
it portrays the pain in our lives
but i think it's time that together
even if i lose my way and stumble on this road
all my cuts and bruises won't last forever
paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be
showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen
i can only tremble where i stand
looking at a perfect hologram
the rain begins to clear one afternoon
and it's like the light is reflecting from heaven
and it's like a watercolor dream with every hue
showing me the beauty that i was too blind to see
all because this world's like nothing i have ever seen
