Lyrics of Portrait of a Blank Slate by Lovejoy
verse
He told me that much and now he's dead
Taught me to kill my indulgences
With a sharp blow to the temple
Pick up the phone call and do everything he says
verse
I could take a plastic camera
We could make such a pretty picture
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me
verse
I feel at some point I broke my mind
I'm always searching the silent type
How do you all make it look so easy?
You open your hearts up so quickly it scares me
verse
She's an artist, paints across my chest
Goes to parties, act like hotel guests
Wake up Monday, now it's over
Don't you know no one gets what they came here for?
verse
I could paint her, wrapped around her
We could make such a pretty picture
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me
chorus
But I'm just the same
I've got a boring name
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
So I'll wait here for you
I said, "Please just let me stay"
Oh, just let me stay, oh
verse
I guess you know now what to expect
He lives your own life in retrospect
You know it bores me, his insecurities
Breaks you down just to act as the architect
verse
I could wait here, by the west pier
Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
If only you knew just how much better things could be
verse
Another week of action
Another hypoglycaemic reaction
chorus
But I'm just the same
I've got a boring name
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
So I'll wait here for you
I said, "Please just let me stay"
Oh, just let me stay
Oh, just let me
outro
I'm sorry, it's all so predictable
I'm sorry, it's all so predictable, I know
Writer(s): Ashley Stevens, William Gold, Mark Boardman, Joseph Goldsmith
