blue

Midnight to noon there's flowers on the table

And i love you, love you, love you while i'm able

To say it, i'll say it, i'll say it till the day that i die

When the sun comes up and the lights go down

I will run run run from the higher ground

Won't be disappointed when you say we're going home

Cause it's been six months and nothing is changing

I don't know if i'm growing, i don't know if i'm aging

If i'm stronger, braver, maybe just a bit less afraid

On the edge of sixteen and falling asleep on the city bus

I don't know who i am and i certainly

Don't know where the hell i'm going

Blue, i know that it's hard to be real

When the blood is on your hands and the world's beneath your heels

Maybe you're just one for unconventional affection

But baby, that's alright, i'll be whatever helps you sleep at night

I forgive you for the words you said last night

I forgive you for the way you held on too tight

Sorry i turned away, i didn't want to cry in front of you

We sat together on the centre of my bed

While you told me all the reasons you hate radiohead

But their record's on my turntable, that song's stuck in my head

Your profile's built of shadows on my wall

And it's just so hard for me to take this all

In at once, you're sleeping and i'm wide awake

Once the year's over i can't remember anything

All i ever do is sleep and sing

Songs about places that i will never see

Blue, i know that it's hard to let go

When it's all you've ever felt, it's all you've ever known

I keep my eyes on the ground, you keep your hand on my back

From when the sun rises to when the sky turns black

They broke you down so easily, tell me why do you stand alone?

They tore you down so easily, tell me why are you standing alone?

You say it's just a cycle of heartache, so why do you carry it on?

Seven years old in a moonlit world, how did you make it alone?

Blue, i'm sorry i can't be what you need

It's not easy to wake up, it's not easy to breathe

I ran for cover as your walls came crashing down

But you just let yourself crumble to the ground
