Shades of Blue

So close we are when we walk by
When we stand side by side at traffic lights
Close enough to touch and hold
Too far from what it holds inside In this inflated loud debate
We say a lot but nothing that carries weight
You're asking me "What is real?"
You don't see why it should be
As long as it seems to be so

Shades of blue forming into clouds as black as soot above you
They try to move you
Give you a soothing doze of heart
But you live like a shooting star

With all your brightest mind
You can pick and choose what you like
Did you buy the reddest paint? Wear your funniest poker face
In your joker phase?
You're asking me now "What is life?"
I think you've missed the point by a mile
Life's about the people you meet And about what you do
With the ones that you keep

Shades of blue forming into clouds as black as soot above you
They try to move you
Give you a soothing doze of heart
But you live like a shooting star
Don't fly all that far from me Come back to the ground

Into the blue we'll dive
Into the light
Into the blue we'll dive
In we fly

Shades of blue forming into clouds as black as soot above you
They try to move you
Give you a soothing doze of heart
But you live like a shooting star
