Lyrics
Naked Pictures
[v1]
The Santa Ana winds
are blowin' hot tonight,
a perfect storm
is out there forming.
When she can't get to sleep,
she draws in black and white,
I'll find her curled up
in the morning.
There's something beautiful
about her sorrow.
She's hiding in those
shades of gray,
in lines that seem to beg
steal and borrow.
And I can't look away,
I can't look away,
no I can't look away...
[chorus]
She shows me naked pictures,
and I can't look away.
I'm not sure that I should be here,
but she asked me to stay.
When the darkness comes to take her,
she begins to fall apart,
and she shows me naked
pictures of her heart.
[v2]
A shadow runs across the page
and mingles with the light,
her innocence recaptured
in that shading.
Her fortress walls are coming down,
but not without a fight.
Demons from her past
still lay in waiting.
I shuffle through the pile
to see if I can find me,
among the heroes
who keep the night at bay.
And though I hear her softly
coming up behind me,
I can't look away,
I can't look away,
no I can't look away....
[chorus]
She shows me naked pictures,
and I can't look away.
I'm not sure that I should be here,
but she asked me to stay.
When the darkness comes to take her,
she begins to fall apart,
and she shows me naked
pictures of her heart.
[outtro]
She shows me naked picture,
and I can't look away,
no I can't look away...
