Sky Blue

I'm sitting in a place that I never thought I'd be
Between the person I've become and the man that I should see
When I look into a mirror, I don't know why I try
I want to tell somebody but it comes out as a lie

If my life were a movie, it's one I wouldn't see
I'd picket at the theater till I fall down on my knee
Nothing seems to happen, the plot is growing cold
27 is so young and 30 is so old

Now my eyes are focused up on the silver screen
Even in my movie, the main man, it isn't me
This must be what people mean when they say that they're blue
At least my shade's more like the sky when I'm sitting with you

Sky blue
Sky blue

It hurts to see a loved one going it alone
At least I'm mostly numb so I don't feel it in my bones
Life's a great distraction. We're still running tough
You give your life to someone else, turns out that that's enough

Everybody paints the night in shades of blue and green
Sometimes if you're lucky you find colors in between
To help you through the day time and keep you through the night
When you wake up to the sun the sky is burning bright, and it

It doesn't really matter what you want to say
It's just another moment in yet another day
It's hard to talk about the things we wish just weren't true
It's easy for me to say I want to be with you

Sky blue
Sky blue

Sit yourself on down and strum on your guitar
Maybe someday soon you'll end up playing in a bar
For several different people from several different worlds
From waiting on the lottery to chasing pretty girls

No, nothing new you ever say is ever news to me
What we've got has got so big it's shifting gravity
I might know the details of every little rhyme
That just means I get to sing along to every line

Not to say we're getting old, we'll never be old news
You're the girl who taught me what it means to sing the blues
Remember how it happened, that time I made you cry
Life comes in different colors. Ours looks a whole lot like

Sky blue
Sky blue
Nothing we can't do, no, I
I want to feel sky blue with you
