As usual, I was feeling low and decided to write a song. I usually am not a happy camper when I write, but it's the writing of a good song that cheers me up. I used to think this song was about love, then childhood, then about living on the street, and now, I have no idea. But that's what is so great about music. You can make it your own, even if you didn't write it. The meaning of a song is totally subjective and up to the listener. I invite you to fit my songs into your own life, and not worry about what I think the song means - Larry.

Crazy how it seems to be this way.
A simple plan gone horribly wrong today.
Still we sit, and talk for hours, 'till nothing more be said.
Still we know how soon we all forget.
Painful rings of jealousy,
Loosely get the best of me,
Squeeze me till I break you off some change.

Easy go, takes it's toll, mercy has no name,
Beautiful and silent stand between.

All the colours of the street,
Paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray,
Remember when, you took me in, thought I'd lost my way?
So, paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray,
Oh, paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray.

Sun don't shine, quite so bright these days,
Colours go, the silver starts to fade.
But time will tell, if we have prooved Okay.
Crazy how it seems to be this way.

Go upstairs and count to ten.
Don't come back 'till I say when.
Spin around three times, I'm calling out your name,
So, paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray,
Oh, paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray,
Paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray, yeah
Paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray,
Paint me a picture....
Paint me a picture, fifty shades of gray.
