Painting open windows, that's all you ever do Every day another memory, everyday another view One mistake that took you to a room of 3 by 2 The four walls that surround you paint you the colour blue Country lanes, dusty highways, hills so faraway The woods you took your love to, but now she's flown away Since the day you caught her living out a lie Painting open windows and dreaming of the sky Could have been a leader shining like gold Gifted and courageous a devine sight to behold You were destined for greatness even a blind man could see But you went and pulled the trigger and they threw away the key Country lanes, dusty highways, hills so faraway The woods you took your love to, but now she's flown away Since the day that you caught her living out a lie Painting open windows and dreaming of the sky Country lanes, dusty highways, hills so faraway The woods you took your love to, but now she's flown away Since the day that you caught her living out a lie Painting open windows and dreaming of the sky Painting open windows Painting open windows
