Black and Blue
Color me up like a dream
So serene
Pay the closest attention
Then cover me up like a cheap
Fantasy
Too alarming to mention
So long to you now
There's an audience calling
So take your final bow
As the curtain is falling down
Swallow me down like a pill
So surreal
Such a charming distraction
To hollow me out like a drill
What a thrill
What a knee-jerk reaction
So long to get out
Now the worst is behind us
So meet me somewhere loud
Where emotion can't find us
'Cause I don't want to be the one whose always broken up by the thought of you
I don't want to live a life resenting every breath that I take
I could never wait around forever while the guilt of the past knows
That I can't see
Where it's leading me
Starry-eyed and stirred
Up on top of the world
As I fall into you
Head over heels
Now I know how it feels to belong
Tangled in tongue
What a mess I've become
But I'm calling to you
All black and blue
I'm a wreck over you when you're gone
We'll live to regret
The love we forgot but not quite yet
We still have some time to make this right
So why aren't you with me tonight?
I want you to know
No matter how far apart we grow
I'll always await the moment when
You are back in my arms once again
I don't want to be the one whose always broken up by the thought of you
I don't want to live a life resenting every breath that I take
I could never wait around forever while the guilt of the past knows
That I can't see
How it's changing me
Starry-eyed and stirred
Up on top of the world
As I fall into you
Head over heels
Now I know how it feels to belong
Tangled in tongue
What a mess I've become
But I'm calling to you
All black and blue
I'm a wreck over you when you're gone
Everything I do is an accident waiting to leave me black and blue
So serene
Pay the closest attention
Then cover me up like a cheap
Fantasy
Too alarming to mention
So long to you now
There's an audience calling
So take your final bow
As the curtain is falling down
Swallow me down like a pill
So surreal
Such a charming distraction
To hollow me out like a drill
What a thrill
What a knee-jerk reaction
So long to get out
Now the worst is behind us
So meet me somewhere loud
Where emotion can't find us
'Cause I don't want to be the one whose always broken up by the thought of you
I don't want to live a life resenting every breath that I take
I could never wait around forever while the guilt of the past knows
That I can't see
Where it's leading me
Starry-eyed and stirred
Up on top of the world
As I fall into you
Head over heels
Now I know how it feels to belong
Tangled in tongue
What a mess I've become
But I'm calling to you
All black and blue
I'm a wreck over you when you're gone
We'll live to regret
The love we forgot but not quite yet
We still have some time to make this right
So why aren't you with me tonight?
I want you to know
No matter how far apart we grow

What a mess I've become
But I'm calling to you
All black and blue
I'm a wreck over you when you're gone
Everything I do is an accident waiting to leave me black and blue
