All Time Low - Paint You Wings Lyrics






When will the princess figure it out she ain't worth saving? (Saving)
Heavy the head that bears the crown
Of my mistaken, apathy for sympathy

I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so

I painted a picture of the things I wanted most (Most)
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes (Hopes)
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings (I'll paint you wings)
Now I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(Yeah)

I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy
Locked behind your chamber doors when you felt frisky
Until you got sick of me

I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so

I painted a picture of the things I wanted most (Most)
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes (Hopes)
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings (I'll paint you wings)
Now I'll set you free (I'll set you free)

When will the princess figure it out she ain't worth saving?
When will the world get over all her misbehaving
Will we ever learn? (Learn, learn, learn)

I painted a picture of the things I wanted most (Things I wanted most)
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes (Of all my brightest hopes)
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings (I'll paint you wings)
Now I'll set you free (I'll set you free)

(She can fly away)

I painted a picture of the things I wanted most (Most)
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes (Hopes)
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings (I'll paint you wings)
Now I'll set you free (I'll set you free)

(She can fly away)

    I love how they're so chill about the apocalypse like
    "Zombies? *PIZZAAA!* "
    "Aliens? Hold on leme get a pic first."
    "We're gonna die? Lolz see you bastards in hell."

  8. T.... ....

    "Chicken, fly away!"

    "So I'll make some wings, and they're free."

    2018 and I still come back to this song

  31. M.... H....

    *STILL listening in 2017 & 2018*

  32. F.... B....

    Every time I hear this I forget just how much I love it


    -did that even make sense-

  33. M.... H....

    Alex *Ive painted a picture of all the things I wanted most*
    Me *Where the fuck is the fan painting*

  34. I.... ....

    man why did i stop listening to you guys forgot how much i enjoyed your music. im hooked again

  35. Z.... J....

    so ill paint your wings, and ill set you free

  36. T.... ....

    Is it bad that I hardcore relate to this song?

  37. N.... W....

    Can anyone reccomend some more music like this that's maybe a little hidden or obscure? I found this song in 2018 and know a few songs like it but they're all well known for the most part

  38. K.... G....

    All of my brightest hopes

  39. a.... L....

    2018. still here❤😆👻

  40. L.... ....

    2017 anyone?

  41. L.... M....

    tag urself I'm the guy with the 'doom' sign

  45. k.... ....

    is this a song about being transgender?

  46. S.... ....

    My favorite song off the album! It perfectly shows what they're capable of when they actually have focus & try! Why couldn't Last Young Renegade be in the same vein of knowing what it wanted to do & how to do it?

  47. T.... �....

    My "best fren" fucking screwed me over and she had the nerve to put the lyrics written by my favorite band in her bio. All time low is only for good people! ILL PAINT YOU WINGS AND ILL SET YOU FREE!!!!

    When will the princess figure it out she ain't worth saving
    Heavy the head that bears the crown
    Of my mistaken empathy, sympathy

    I was never good enough to be anything but a remedy
    To all of your constant pressing needs
    And I never learned, so

    I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
    To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
    But there was a monster standing where you should be
    So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free

    I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy
    Locked behind your chamber doors when you felt frisky
    Until you got sick of me

    I was never good enough to be anything but a remedy
    To all of your constant pressing needs
    And I never learned, so

    So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free

    When will the princess figure it out, she ain't worth saving
    And when will the world get over all her misbehaving
    Will we ever learn?

    I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
    To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
    But there was a monster standing where you should be
    So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free

    (So she can fly away)

    I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
    To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
    But there was a monster standing where you should be
    So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free

    (So you can fly away)

    I.... B....
