I am not a politician But if I had to write a manifesto I would let you know I may not be a mathematician But I know when odds look evenly arranged That's never the case We are so good at painting By numbers over the pain We never understand And call it a plan I may not be a magician But if I had a moment to entertain I'd put all tricks away For I'd only need one illusion Pull back the curtain & try to explain It's never too late We are so good at painting By numbers over the pain We never understand Oh, we are so good at only Finding the flaws in everything Cut the stem just to watch it grow again And call it the end So here I am as a musician And if I had to leave just one song behind I would speak my mind Cause after all I'm only human All I can give is what I might inspire Leaving this world a little higher We are so good at painting The heights of our imagination We still try to understand Oh, we are so good at finding A love that's worth us fighting for And making it our manifesto
