lyrics

We were barefoot in the driveway on a Friday
I decided I would love you
So I loved you
And the moonlight wasn’t shining
And the rain it wasn’t falling, didn’t have to
Cause I had you

You were in my head from the moment that I met you
Said, “I’ll get you”
You got me instead, swung my heart around
And baby you made me feel blue

But when I say blue, I mean I feel like the sky
When I say sky, I mean I feel like I could cry
When I say cry, I mean I feel like the sea
When I say sea, I mean I feel like you see all of me
Hey!

We were young and free and beautiful
And all the things that make you fall in love
So we fell in love
But the shape of love is different than you think
When you say smooth it gives you rough
But it’s still love

Heart and home and all of the words that mean I have you don’t begin to
Wild and bold and all of the ways I tell you baby you make me feel blue

But when I say blue, I mean I feel like the sky
When I say sky, I mean I feel like I could cry
When I say cry, I mean I feel like the sea
When I say sea, I mean I feel like you see all of me
Hey!

Let us take our time as we grow old, oh
Every day will feel like something new, ooh
Love isn’t borrowed when it’s true
You make me blue

But when I say blue, I mean I feel like the sky
When I say sky, I mean I feel like I could cry
When I say cry, I mean I feel like the sea
When I say sea, I mean I feel like you see me

When I say me, I mean I feel like the sky
When I say sky, I mean I feel like I feel like I’m so high
When I say high, I mean I feel like the moon
When I say moon, I mean you make me feel blue

But when I say blue, I mean I feel like the sky
When I say sky, I mean I feel like I could cry
When I say cry, I mean I feel like the sea
When I say sea, I mean I feel like you see all of me
Hey!
