Blue Bird (feat. Alison Krauss)

Still barely eighteen

A real-life daydream

Soaring like a thing from Heaven

Breaking in your freedom wings when

"Wildflowers," Tom Petty

First time, a levee

Broke your little heart like glass

Nothing matters when they look like that

Same chords over and over

Same sad song, still no closure

Same bridge that he burned down real damn fast

Is he why you're blue?

Is he the why you sing the way you do?

Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?

Is it true?

Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?

Is he why you're blue, bird?

He left you stranded

Weren't built for a crash landing

But you've been laying there forever

You blame it on the change of weather

You went from getting high to getting by

Is he why you're blue?

Is he the why you sing the way you do?

Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?

Is it true?

Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?

Is he why you're blue, bird?

Is he why you're blue, bird?

Why you don't sleep, you don't eat

He's the lead in your feet

Took all that you used to be

Now love's just a song you sing

Is he why you're blue?

Is he the why you sing the way you do?

Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?

Is it true?

Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?

Is he the reason why I know every single word?

Is he why you're blue, bird?

Is he why you're blue, bird?
