Rothko Painting

I watch you staring at a Rothko painting
Black on maroon
Think you've been feeling him too much lately
I watch you climb into a blue Mercedes
And then you're back in the room
Think you've been seeing him too much lately

Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
Why are things I keep in
Hold me while I'm sleeping?
I kinda wanna live before I die

Why is everybody trying to save me?
Give me some room
Think you've been crowding me too much lately
I hear you're battling your demons daily
She says, "Ain't that the truth?"
Think you've been feeling him too much lately

Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
Why are things I keep in
Hold me while I'm sleeping?
I kinda wanna live before I die
I kinda wanna live before I die

And she says, "Oh, I've got it handled, it's all under control
Can you do this for me? I don't know how to roll
Just give it a rest, wasn't a problem before
I've seen you do it sometimes"

Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
I kinda wanna live before I die
Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
Why are things I keep in
Hold me while I'm sleeping?
I kinda wanna live before I die

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I kinda wanna live before I die
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I kinda wanna live before I die
