i'm trying to remember what life was like before you
don't tell me it was always this blue
brick walls are changing, the rain's rearranging
wind is winding between the homes
and i just realized we're both sleeping alone

so say a little prayer for me
because the sky's trying to merge with the sea
and i may have fallen for it
but i'm not on my knees

i'm trying to remember what i was like before you
don't tell me i was always singing of you
i'm sure there was a time when i would sleep in the night
and i was boldly aware
of time as it passed through friendships and nightmares

so voice all your concerns to me
i will not tolerate this sort of dishonesty
and i may have fallen for it
but we are starting clean

blue, gone
love song
for the bucket of blue paint in the library singing along

blue, now
don't frown
got a feeling we will always be just hanging around
