Pierce The Veil 'Million Dollar Houses (The Painter)'

Lyrics:
So what if I was just a painter
Painting houses on the rich blue coast
Would you ever try to leave me
For somebody who deserves you most
Cause darling I am just a painter
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
I'm gonna make a million dollars
Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
For diamonds and gold

Cause I've broken bones for you
And for you only
I make the money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand
And we can run
We can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby run

She's like a bullet through an ocean
I still remember how you moved so slow
You tried to kill me with a shotgun
Bang, now we're even
We don't stop till someone's bleeding

Cause I've broken bones for you
And for you only
I make the money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand
Then we can run
We can run, we can run, baby run now
We can run, baby run, baby you're my hope

Permanently yours
Sometimes, the moon looks brighter than the sun
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood
Splash around with me
While we move like flames on burning sheets
And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication
But, baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep
To die is to awaken

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But, I'll fight for you till then
And if he stole you from me
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name

I've broken bones for you
And for you only
I needed money, but fuck money
We want love
Give me your heart and your hand
And we can run

This is one of those songs where ur depressed but at the same time this song pumps u up

[theMoonlightsOrdeal]

the auto tune threw me off the first few times I listened to it, but its one of my favorite songs on this album now.

[novibel]

Pierce the veil is always gonna have a special place in my heart. Once I told my parents that they were Hispanic too they would listen with me and buy their cds for me

[vampirebruh]

I hope they still got their same sound on the new album

[ley]

[Dethguy]

"Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But I'll fight for you 'til then
And if he stole you from me
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name
I've broken bones for you and for you only"

[idkhowbutitsvickie]

Literally the prettiest song ever and I only found it in 2021?

“she’s like a bullet through an ocean” just scratches that itch in my brain

[blackastaandfvleaf]

Lyrics

So what if I was just a painter
Painting houses on the rich blue coast?
Would you ever try to leave me
For somebody who deserves you most?

'Cause darling, I am just a painter
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
I'm gonna make a million dollars
'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no

For diamonds and gold
For diamonds and gold

'Cause I've broken bones for you and for you only
I make money but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, baby, run now
We can run, baby, run

She's like a bullet through an ocean
I still remember how you moved so slow
You tried to kill me with a shotgun
Bang, now we're even
We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
(We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding)

I've broken bones for you and for you only
I make money but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, baby, run now
We can run, baby, run, baby, you're my hope

Permanently yours
Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood

Splash around with me
While we move like flames on burning sheets
And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication

But baby, no, sometimes things
Don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep, to die is to awaken

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But I'll fight for you 'til then
And if he stole you from me
On my arm there's a tattoo of your name

I've broken bones for you and for you only
I make money but fuck money, we want love
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run
We can run
We can run, run

[qqztfue]

maybe we’re meant to lose to lose the ones we love but i’ll fight for you until then

[aya]

2:45 the build up this part gives me and the moment 3:18 hits i cryyyy my fucking eyes out. Damn this song is so painfully good.

[jayshattered]

Why did the intro make me think of nails for breakfast, tacs for snacks by panic

[wooogie]

i wanna say this is my fav ptv song but i love all of them and which one’s numver one is constantly changing 😭

[jarebearski]

I remember when i was a painter and actually painting beach houses out in the East coast. I had a girl but eventually left me for a welder out in texas. Never related to song so much.

[sickiii]

this is one of the songs imo that really made the band as a whole shine, idk why but the band as a whole felt so insane in this song
