Story Behind The Song
I was observing my own relationship and the extreme ups and downs. There really was no middle ground. Each day, I would deal with it in a different way, as if looking at a different picture.
Song Description
Each day, our perspective alters. Some days I would give in, and some days I would fight. It is about projecting an image of your future using an actual painting as a metaphor.

Lyrics
Paint a picture
for the wall
come Tuesday morning
it will surely fall
paint a picture
so you can see
the silver lining without me
da da da da
without me
da da da da
Is this what you really want?
Is this what you really need?
Is this what you really want to see?
Is this what you really need to breathe?
Paint a picture
for the wall
come Thursday morning
I will surely crawl
paint a picture so you can tell
our life story you know so well
