Lyrics

Painting by Numbers

One number at a time
Colour the sky, side by side
Black and white
Turn into kaleidoscope skies
I'm drawing you closer
My four-leaf clover
I feel so lucky to call this mine
To call you mine

Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?

In my heart, there's something I can't control
I just know it's becoming beautiful
Just let your body feel, just let your body
Let your body, let your body feel

Take our chance
Who knows where this thing could go? Ah
Now we're gliding, ultraviolet
And I don't want it to stop
'Cause it could be real this time
And love we never want at night
For this real life, for this real life

One number at a time
Colour the sky, side by side
Black and white
Turn into kaleidoscope skies
I'm drawing you closer
My four-leaf clover
Feel so lucky to call this mine
To call you mine

Is this real life?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?

I just realised this is real life
