lyrics

Verse 1
I see our window that would show no light,
cause its covered in decals and tin foil.
You used to tell me that it looked just fine
and it helped us to find our way home.

Verse 2
The rusty stairs led right up to the sky
where I danced in the clouds with you.
I didn’t know that we could run out of time
and now I’m full face down in the blue.

Verse 3:
People said it was a tragedy
cause you tried so hard to defeat it.
But The Whispers got ya feeling so sad
and that feeling it just wouldn’t do.

Verse 4:
Walking out with your wayfarer’s on
you swore you’d be back in an hour.
But I never got to see you again
because you slipped deep down in the blue.

Verse 5
I was 14 when you took all the light
that I never new could be taken.
I still love you with all of my heart
except for the times when I hate ya.

Verse 6:
We used to dance in that ragged apartment
with the shag rug snagging our shoes
we used to laugh like a couple of demons
till we got knocked down in the blue.
