The Bluest Things on Earth - The Wonder Years

We sat quiet on the hill

Out just north of Wings Field

Waiting on the runway lights

We were wrapped in winter coats

And I said I’d drive you home

You’d been pulling out your flask all night

I wrapped my arms around the moment like I’m clutching a memory

You alive in your madness, in love with the night

The glow of the forest, the ambulance lights

The bluest things on Earth don’t know shit about the blues

You used to be vibrant

You used to burn bright

Put out the light

In your clouded eyes

Kept you inside

Through the summer time

Put out the fight, pressing flowers at night

In a book that you love

The pieces they can’t take of us

I found you shaking at the lake

A hospital bracelet still tied to your wrist

We talked to fill the empty space

Danced on the ice until it breaks

They flooded a town so this part could exist

You see us walking on the streets in your dreams

The pills that they fed you

Your half awake eyes

The bluest things on Earth don’t know shit about the blues

You used to burn…

Put out the light

In your clouded eyes

Kept you inside

Through the summertime

Put out the fight, pressing flowers at night

In a book that you love

The pieces they can’t take of us Put out the light

In your clouded eyes

Kept you inside

Through the summertime

Put out the fight, pressing flowers at night

In a book that you love

These pieces they can’t take of us These pieces they can’t take of us
