These paint smells

Need to get these thoughts out of my mind

As these paint smells somehow take me back in time (time)

Where all these people from my past appear on my mind (mind)

I feel like I almost don't know them anymore

But why do these paint smells bring me back to the past?

And how long will these paint smells last?

I want these thoughts gone, gone, gone



Chorus:

Somehow today

I want these memories to fade away

These paint smells make me feel like I'm in danger  (uh)

Like I'm about to meet some dead stranger (uh)

Always said to myself I'd never go back

Never go back to see them, no

How can I erase these thoughts at night

Bring me to the present now and bring me to the light (light)

These paint smells, oh these paint smells

What have I done to let you mess with my mind, mind, mind

These paint smells, oh.

It makes me sick!



Now I really need to take a step forward

I got my faith in You Lord

Help me answer my prayers

Before these 'strangers' turn to players

A person to play the role of that person

Don't want to be reminded (go away, away)

Just want a loving smell to feel that I am loved

To bring me the people who are there for me most

Those people who once were are now gone in smoke (smoke)



Chorus:

Somehow today

I want these memories to fade away

These paint smells make me feel like I'm in danger  (uh)

Like I'm about to meet some dead stranger (uh)

Always said to myself I'd never go back

Never go back to see them, no

How can I erase these thoughts at night

Bring me to the present now and bring me to the light (light)

These paint smells, oh these paint smells

What have I done to let you mess with my mind, mind, mind

These paint smells, oh.

It makes me sick!



I need to stay in the present (oh)

Focus on the present, yeah

Don't let them take that away, yeah

I need this now

Let there useless thoughts disappear

'Coz they are not here, here, here



Chorus:

Somehow today

I want these memories to fade away

These paint smells make me feel like I'm in danger  (uh)

Like I'm about to meet some dead stranger (uh)

Always said to myself I'd never go back

Never go back to see them, no

How can I erase these thoughts at night

Bring me to the present now and bring me to the light (light)

These paint smells, oh these paint smells

What have I done to let you mess with my mind, mind, mind

These paint smells, oh.

It makes me sick!



These paint smells just come and go

Focus on the present

Forget the past

Let it go.
