[Verse 2]
She's an artist, paints across my chest. Goes to parties, act like hotel guests.
I could paint her, wrapped around her. We could make such a pretty picture.

[Verse 3]
I guess you know now what to expect. He lives your own life in retrospect.
I could wait here, by the west pier. Watch the flotsam float, slowly disappear.

You know it bores me? His insecurities. Breaks you down just to act as the architect.
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy. If only you knew just how much better things could be.
