I screamed at my skin, please stay younger
Where did the years go when I was
Feeling stronger?
Right out the window when I was driving your car
In the rear view I saw my
Heart. It spun and landed in the front yard
Of a place I knew before
Before I knew it, distance crossed my mind
Divides my spirits, half for
Faith and half for better times
So how long is four years? It's an eternity I
Suppose. Infinity beckons me
To a simple place to hide
Lay down and cover your eyes so bright
From awful morning light. I'm so
Scared of death, not fond of life
And facing my fears doesn't feel right so
I'll carry on tonight. Lay down
And draw the blinds, the past
Is always on my mind
So call me at midnight or call me anytime
I'm patiently waiting, the past
Is on my mind. I memorized the nuances
Of conversation held that night, I
Memorized every detail of your skin
We were spread so thin
Could've seen you in the basement
Could've seen you in the hall. But it
Doesn't even matter
Cuz it was nothing at all
I've been thinking what you said is true
Our lives are reds and greens and
Shades of blue, our colored pasts
Reveal what is true, nothing that I said to
You paints a pretty portrait of us two
We're different shades of blue
