Baby Blue

You smelled like palm trees and cigarettes

You were the tangerine sky after a wildfire

You were a lost thing inside my chest

Loosenin' my screws and crossin' all my wires

How many ways did I say, "I love you"? Did I say, "I love you"?

But you just couldn't give it back

How many days 'til the sky was falling? 'Cause I kept on stalling

I knew I'd have to give you back

You were a Hollywood daydream, my beautiful sad thing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah

You were torn like your ripped jeans, a bird with a bad wing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby

You were the stranger I knew the best

With those angel eyes, you were a wild liar

I was the savior you never asked for, but I tried

And I would until I died, oh

How many ways did I say, "I love you"? Did I say, "I love you"?

But you just couldn't give it back

You were a Hollywood daydream, my beautiful sad thing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah

You were torn like your ripped jeans, a bird with a bad wing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby

You were cold like a winter sky

You're so blue, baby blue, yeah

You were rare like the northern lights

I wonder, was it true, was it true? Yeah

You were a Hollywood daydream, my beautiful sad thing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah

You were torn like your ripped jeans, a bird with a bad wing

Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby
