Written from a bathroom floor lol

lyrics

Is it over, now that I've turned your head?
Two blocks over, and you ain't said nothing yet
I'll go fishing in the river that only runs red
Come back wishing, carrying something dead

And I'll say paint me the color of paper blank,
And hang me out your window
Paint me the color of paper blank,
And let me in your breeze blow
'Cause I can't find a man in Babylon
They're all gone, oh Babylon
I can't find a man in Babylon
So paint me, just paint me white

I remember when the minutes ticked by so sweet
Our bodies sighed together, spent and complete
In the dark we'd stare, reach in the fire and our eyes would speak
But then you left me, turning down some unnamed street

They say surrender is oh so sweet
But you know it can't compare to when our lips would meet
You took the ashes of forever, laid them at some new girl's feet
And I will always remember, and I know you will never forget

So I'll say paint me the color of paper blank,
And hang me out your window
Paint me the color of paper blank,
And let me in your breeze blow
I can't find a man in this sad and lonely land
I can't find a man in Babylon
So paint me, just paint me white
I said now lover come on
Paint me, just paint me white
I surrender, come on and
Paint me, just paint me white
