Written in La Pedrera, Uruguay while performing in the costal towns in Rocha

lyrics

Couldn't afford it
So I painted it on
Wanted to look nice for you
So I drew on my dress with my pencils
Gave you a song
Just don't look close

I spent the whole night running
But I missed the starting post
Went up to talk to you
But my heart it always froze
'Cos your words
Are strong with bad intentions
And I know it's all show

Here
On the coast
By the sea,
And you still can't relax
I'll paint my hair red
You'll paint yours black
And we both pretend
That we're not scared

You shouldn't be on your own, he said
And I don't want you advice anymore, I replied
I replied
'Cos It's not that I'm no good
It's just that your ears and blind
And I'm playing for change here
Not the kind that lives in your purse
And I'm playing for change here
And I'm playing for change here

Short-sighted hearts
And broken bones
We put together the pieces
But your heart was made of stone
And you were all dressed in white
When the lighthouse was broke
I'd search the sea to find your eyes
But your hands were made of bone

I couldn't pay for it
So I painted the sky on my skin and called it my ultimate
Sold it to you
For more that it was worth
The fool became the fooler,
The lost became legitimate
And the winning
Still believing they had won

'Cos I used to laugh
When my chest felt tight
And you'd wonder why

'Cos I used to laugh
When my chest felt tight
And you'd wonder why
