lyrics

last light if I can pull it off

can you imagine painting in the morning
and never going to work?
Can you imagine leaving with no warning
and never going back to keeping needless secrets

I only use blacks and whites dear
I'm still a little scared of all that color
I bought some blue the other day, start with one like you always say
I'm going to start painting in the mornings

last light if I can pull it off
a line that could be the horizon if you want
blue box in the shape of a house if that's enough
a little rain cloud that's barely forming

too far in the distance to know
if that's a human figure or overgrowth
the trick of the eye at the end of daylight
it might as well be neither or maybe both

this was supposed to my gift
I want to make you proud of me
this was supposed to my gift
what happened to that playful misery

you said it's either loyalty or self esteem
I don't know if I would call it that
I'm gonna start singing really low if it's clear enough
I want full legibility

last light if I can pull it off
love songs if I can pull them off
long drive if I can pull it off
good life if I can pull it off
last light if I can pull it off
