Paint By Numbers
Trying to capture the frenetic pace of the first few (thousand) moments of meeting someone captivating. Influenced by real life, perceived life, a Jimi Hendrix strum pattern (OK, it was probably much more Ralph Covert's
Small Grey Rain), and possibly a viewing of
Before Sunrise.
Lyrics:
Stunning from her first step
Running for the exit
Catching up to your imagination
As you fumble for hello
Driving home by instinct
Counting minutes 'til you
Call the number written on your
Hand and as you fall asleep, the phone
And you sit back and
enjoy ... the storm before the calm
Focus on the details
Fruvous on the stereo
As you compile the authors, parks
And hours that you'd like to share
Bring the bare essentials
Throw them in the back seat
Pace yourself, there's so much
Colorado and so little time to lose
And you sit back and
Enjoy... the storm before the calm
Color your sky green and
Put a dollar in the pay phone
Walk the blue grass, take an art class
Have somebody hold your calls
See a red door, stay in bed more,
Use your head a little
Less - stop the presses, give a
Royal wave good bye
To your paint-by-numbers life
Don't just carpe diem
Squeeze it so hard that it coughs
Look it in the eye and
Linger for a while before you go
And you sit back and
Enjoy... the storm before the calm
