Cover art for Paint lyrics by Paper Kites, The

Last night Sam Bentley said that this song is called Paint because he once wanted to write a secret message in invisible paint for a girlfriend so he tested the paint out on the roof of his house but it turned out to not be invisible but he didn't paint over it so he has this symbol of his love for her on his roof for a long time even after they broke up. That's why he says "I paint the ceiling so that nobody knows/I cover it slow, cover it slow"
