The Painting Lyrics

Your eyes
Complete the sentence
Finishing the painting
Staring at me now

And your heart
It covers the country
And disarms our money
It's bleeding for us now

I'm looking for a sign
I'll just soon go blind

You're so bright
Wash them all out
You're so bright
It's never letting go

Your hands
They color the canvas
Beauty it muddies
Revealing all our highs

And your hair
Sparks a religion
A fear and decision
Never compromise

I'm looking for a sign
I'll just soon go blind

You're so bright
Wash them all out
You're so bright
It's never letting go

You're so bright
Wash them all out
You're so bright
It's never letting go

You're so bright
Wash them all out
You're so bright
It's never letting go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
