Detour Sign

Blue in the heart, blue in the face
Black and blue from running this race
Blue is the color that you must embrace
I blew it up, blew it up
Blew the kindle on the cake with my mouth
Blew a hundred kisses and sent him down south
How will I know if the road is closed
Detour sign and the man in the neon coat
Got the flashlight, got the moonlight
Swimming in the blue light
My blood is red
I scraped my knee on the sidewalk
Trying to write your name with chalk
I drew us a house, drew the windows wide
Drew you inside
My blood is red running down my leg
How will I know if the road is closed
Detour sign and the man in the neon coat
Got the flashlight, got the moonlight
Swimming in the blue light
I woke up in a border town
Just as the leaves were turning brown
But there’s no magic here
There’s no rainbow
No crimson forest floor to lay me down
I woke up in a border town
Cause I lost my way as the Sun went down
Oh, I couldn’t see the ribbons your tied to the trees
The dark rolled in and swallowed me
What’s there, what do you say
You love me anyway
That’s not enough, not today
Blue is all around me now
It’s in the bottle under the bed
I drank it down
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way down
