Milky Chance – Scarlet Paintings lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't get me wrong, we've been here not far too long
We were falling and laughing, now we're falling apart
My baby blue, this is how I feel for you
I still want you so bad, am I losing you instead
?

[Pre-Chorus]
You, you stole my heart with grace
But I'm just dying to embrace
You, you stole my heart with grace
And I don't want you to give it back to me

[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta see you dancing on the edge
Every time you try to [?], I lose my breath
I don't wanna see you down and far
Scarlet paintings on the bathroom floor

[Verse 2]
Last time [?], but we learnt to carry on
When the love [?] spins its side, it's the cold that makes you hard
My baby blue, this is what we're going through
We're doing good, we're going mad and after all, it's not too bad

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you, you stole my heart with grace
But I'm just dying to embrace
You, you stole my heart with grace
And I don't want you to give it back to me

[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta see you dancing on the edge
Every time you try to [?], I lose my breath
I don't wanna see you down and far
Scarlet paintings on the bathroom floor


[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta see you dancing on the edge
Every time you try to [?], I lose my breath
I don't wanna see you down and far
Scarlet paintings on the bathroom floor

    The highlighted lyrics were actually transcribed wrong - they sing: "...every time you turn around I lose my breath, I don't want to see you drown and fall..." My interpretation is that they're talking about their infatuation for a person, who evidently does not have much regard for their own safety, and how seeing that person hurt would be detrimental to the narrator. When they reference their loved one "dancing on the edge" they reference their love getting high off of (potentially) adrenaline which the narrator enjoys to see, but them indulging too much in that same delicious risk ("drown and fall") would lead to the not only heartbreak, but to their death and blood being spilled on the ground ("scarlet paintings on the bathroom floor.") Essentially they sing about a passionate love, while weighing the benefits of seeing the person they love being happy, with the inherent dangerous cost of that same happiness.
