jillian dolan - painted a picture lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i painted a picture to give it away
i asked artists and poets the price they would pay
they met my eyes with a look of dismay
said “keep on trying, maybe you’ll make it
one day”
a duck swims around in a pond that’s too small
the king of the castle as the fish swim along
but then he was moved to a pond with a swan
crowded with fear, his crown simply gone

[bridge]
ooooh, ooooh

[verse]
went home with the painting and stared for a while
screams at my window from the wind going wild
no food in the cabinets, the quiet’s gone loud
go and sit in a fountain where dreams go to drown (dreams go to drown)
when i was younger people would say
“you’re awfully good for someone that age”
but as i grow older those words chip away
time is the one thing refusing to stay

[bridge]
ahhh, ahhh
[verse 3]
the painting remains on my wall by the door
easily forgotten and often ignored
the duck in the pond, wonder would he say?
is he like me hoping to make it one day?
