Norman Rockwell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't talk about my feelings much
Sit around with all my secrets tucked
Under the table with my family
Staring off a little distantly
Stuck in the middle of America
Drawing Xs on my calendar
We get bored and drink our dreams away
’Cause that's what everybody does these days

[Pre-Chorus]
Layin' here underneath the big sky
Stars blinking at me like they’re strobe lights
Suddenly, it hits me like a snake bite
Everything is clear and I realize

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in the paint on the wall in a picture frame
White little house, but there's nobody home
Stuck in a life that I didn't want anyway
But I don't even know
Where would I go if I ever got out of here?
Paint a new world with the colors I stole?
One of these days, yeah, I might just disappear
And you won't even know
[Verse 2]
We sit around and let the TV fill
Up all the quiet, on the window sill
Are all the flowers that we tried to save
But no one's getting any sun today
We talk and talk forever, but
Never end up anywhere
Get bored and give our love away
'Cause that’s what everybody does these days

[Pre-Chorus]
Layin’ here underneath the big sky
Stars blinking at me like they're strobe lights
Suddenly, it hits me like a snake bite
Everything is clear and I realize

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the paint on the wall in a picture frame
White little house, but there's nobody home
Stuck in a life that I didn't want anyway
But I don't even know
Where would I go if I ever got out of here?
Paint a new world with the colors I stole?
One of these days, yeah, I might just disappear
And you won’t even know
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh) You won't even know
(Oh) You won't even know

[Bridge]
I'm stuck in the paint on the wall in a picture frame
Some people look for a second, but go
They're seein' themselves, but they just have to look away
'Cause they don't even know

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in the paint on the wall in a picture frame
White little house, but there's nobody home
Stuck in a life that I didn't want anyway
But I don't even know
Where would I go if I ever got out of here?
Paint a new world with the colors I stole?
One of these days, yeah, I might just disappear
And you won't even know

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh) You won't even know
(Oh) You won't even know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
