If i were a painter
If i were a painter
I would paint a beautiful spring day
with sun and trees and birds who sing
I would paint a clear blue sky
over head huge bodies of water
And i would paint planes and boats
so that we can reach any area of the canvas together
But i would leave a huge empty space on that canvas
I would save that space for when i have the courage
to tell you how much you mean to me
I would save that space on the canvas for a dream i had
Of me having enough courage to tell you
That of all the amazing things i would like to have in my life
I want you the most.
So if i were actually a painter
I'd paint my perfect day
So i could look you in the eye and say:
You always make me smile, even in my darkest hour
You drain me of all negative energy when you're around
You lift my spirits and make me want to do crazy things
these are feelings i haven't fealt in years….
How simple this would be if i were a painter
So i could paint a picture
Of how i feel about you
so it could get through
I would paint a picture of me and you
And when my painting would be complete
i would plastify it
To protect you
….And i would never ever hurt you.

I would save that space on the canvas for the dream i had
of you and me by the bright blue coast.
I can add up all the amazing things i want in my life
and i would still want you most.

Sometimes i wish i were a painter
So i could paint a picture of you
but even then, it would never match your beauty
It could never match what my eyes see
How simple it would be if i were a painter, with colours and a brush
I would paint a perfect picture to express at least that much
