"Rothko Painting" lyrics

"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
Quiet things I keep in
Haunt 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
Says ain't that the truth
Think you've been feeding them too much lately

Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
Quiet things I keep in
Haunt me while I'm sleeping
I kinda wanna live before I die

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?
Oh, 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

Heaven's kinda lonely
Hope somebody knows me
I kinda wanna live before I die
Quiet things I keep in
Haunt me while I'm sleeping
I kinda wanna live before I die
And I know, know know know
I kinda wanna live before I die
