second coat of paint - joe stamm band lyrics
[verse 1]
faintest smell of perfume, and coffee in the air
dust hangin’ up, in the sun rise glare
in a bathrobe in the kitchen, her eyes soft and dry
never leave the cup, she’s been holding through the night
and she says
[chorus]
this is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
it’s gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
it’s gonna be a patchwork, ’cause you just can’t erase
the pain underneath, it ain’t gonna go away
it’s gonna take a lifetime, the colors, you can change
you can cover up what’s done, but it’ll never be the same
[verse 2]
a little boy’s hands, held by his mom’s
a little boy’s arms, poked full of holes
she whispers in his ear, as the beep starts to slow
me and dad’ll be okay, we know it’s your time to go
[chorus]
this is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
it’s gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
it’s gonna be a patchwork, ’cause you just can’t erase
the pain underneath, it ain’t gonna go away
it’s gonna take a lifetime, the colors, you can change
you can cover up what’s done, but it’ll never be the same
[verse 3]
thirty turns later, th*rns on a rose
draw blood from my hand, next to this hole
dark red petals, twist into the earth
and faint in the ether, i can hear her words
[outro]
it took a lot of effort, and so many coats of paint
it took a lot of tears, and the patience of a saint
’cause life is a patchwork, you just can’t erase
the pain underneath, it never went away
in the end, every lifetime, ends in a grave
you can fill in the hole, but it’ll never be the same
oh, never be the same
