The Painter
O-Town Lyrics

If i were a painter
The singer wishes to be a painter.

Mixing my colors
The singer imagines mixing colors to create a masterpiece.

How could I ever find the blue of your eyes
The singer desires to capture the true beauty of the person's eyes through painting, but finds it challenging to do so.

The canvas could never capture the light of your smile
The singer realizes that even a painting of the person cannot fully capture their genuine smile.

And girl if I were a sculpter
The singer imagines himself as a sculptor.

Working in my world
The singer envisions his own reality as a sculptor.

I couldn't hope to appeal perfect face
The singer acknowledges that even if he were a sculptor, he would not be able to create the person's perfect face.

The curve of your body
The singer appreciates the person's body, which is an object of art in itself.

The feel of your skin
The singer acknowledges the person's skin as a noted aspect of their beauty.

My hands could never ever trace
The singer believes he will never be able to re-create the essence of the person's beauty even if he had all the tools of an artisan.

So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Rather than capturing the person through artwork, the singer aims to express his emotions through music.

Find the words to say your eyes are bluer than blue
The singer seeks lyrical inspiration to describe the person's beauty, particularly their blue eyes.

Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you

And now when the beat is so strong
The current time is optimal for expressing his love for the person through a song.

I'll give my heart in a song
The singer promises to put his feelings of love and emotion into any song he creates about the person.

If I were an actor
The singer is thinking about different art forms to express his love.

I could be someone
Acting would allow the singer to play a different persona.

Someone who always knows
A character the singer would play would always be confident and able to express themselves.

The right things to say
This character would always know what to say in every situation.

But as soon as I see you
The singer acknowledges that he would mess up his lines due to seeing the person and forgetting everything.

I'd forget all my lines
The singer would forget his lines due to nervousness and being in awe of the person.

And you'd never know what I feel inside
Since the singer forgets his lines, he wouldn't be able to express his true emotions to the person through acting.

There's no other way
The singer believes that music is the only way to express his love for the person.

That I know to say
The singer can only express himself and his feeling through music.

Baby how much I love you

And if you'll only give me a chance
The singer is asking for a chance to express his true feelings through his music.

I will try and find a melody as beautiful as you

Yeah I said I do what I do

Why 'cause your eyes are bluer than blue

I'll give my heart in a song
