lyrics

nothings really coming out the way you ever wanted
you just stay the same while the world keeps moving past you
you better sink or swim, you better hold it in
as everything goes back to just a shade of blue

now you’re sitting back, writing love songs to the skyline
tracing pyramids, shaping your life out in the clouds
you better reconnect, you better find what fits
as everything goes back to just a shade of blue

through a looking glass, your perception is all distorted
making paths where paths will never be
you better take your time, you better fall in line
as everything goes back to just a shade of blue

so you sit, writing love songs to no one
as the sunset fades, and her shadow disappears
you better sing that song, you know ill sing along
as everything goes back to just a shade of blue
