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 till 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 angеl eyes, you werе 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
