lyrics

I felt low, broken.
Static, black & white nothing but noise
Now my heart’s been pumping stronger since you turned on the color.
Your Mona Lisa smile it captured me.
made me stand taller
and I believe that something real lives there beneath your skin.

it’s been awhile
since I felt something real
well you’re something new
I've got a taste for you
and here's something true
you taught me how to feel brand new

​Let’s rewind, recall
The truth is sober revelation
Then your words landed
hard and your face frozen forever
Your painted plastic wood grain smile
is placed so perfectly
I almost believe
that something real still lives there underneath

it’s been awhile
since I felt something real
well you’re something new
I've got a taste for you
and here's something true
you taught me how to feel bad too

​my feet are heavy
planted in the garden of our memory
if I stay still
I'll take root
an angry weed choking the flowers
(So I’ll) put on a plastic wood grain smile
and pretend graciously
And make believe
that something real still lives there underneath
