paint

We painted over my walls
They were yellow and stained
And the marker wouldn't come off
It was time for a fresh coat
Maybe white, or something light
They say a fresh coat is exciting
Even though over time
The old colors will bleed through
But at least for a time
It will allow for some new
Until the new becomes old
And then we'll need to paint again
Paint and paint and paint
It can never stay the same.
