Matthew Jacob Parker - Like Van Gogh Lyrics

Your body is a canvas
You paint it, oh, so well
Your lips a velvet red
Your body's fire, hell
Your hair curves the brushstrokes
In a dark-brown hue
Your eyes are the ocean
I'm swimming in the view

You speak to me with art
And I can't help but stare
The beauty's in your arms
The lusciousness your hair

You move but stay in sight
The dance is in your hips
You speak to me in tongues
The music in your lips

I don't know you, you don't know me, all we feel is what we see
Let's make love just like art, we'll do it superficially, yeah

'Cause I don't wanna waste this time laying in your arms
Don't wanna wait no more to see if something's wrong
So, just hold me close, and don't let go
And I'll paint you like Van Gogh

Your hands are a novel
The words I like to read
Your legs are a temple
Standing on your holy feet
Your toes tell the story
Of the places you have been
Your eyes are the glory
The mystery, the sin

You speak to me with art
And I can't help but stare
The beauty's in your arms
The lusciousness your hair

You move but stay in sight
The dance is in your hips
You speak to me in tongues
The music in your lips

I don't know you, you don't know me, all we feel is what we see
Let's make love just like art, we'll do it superficially, yeah

'Cause I don't wanna waste this time laying in your arms
Don't wanna wait no more to see if something's wrong
So just hold me close, and don't let go
And I'll paint you like Van Gogh

You're a painting on a wall
You're a book I always read
You're a song covered in Rolling Stone magazine
You're a sun, setting in June
You're a dancer on a stage
You're the image of the earth seen from outer space
