The Wonder Years - The Bluest Things On Earth

We sat quiet on the hill
Out just north of wing's field
Waiting on the runway lights
We were wrapped in winter coats
And I said I'd drive you home
You'd been pulling at 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 furnace
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 summertime
You put up a fight
Pressing flowers at night in a book that you loved
The pieces they can't take of us

I found you shaking at a lake
A hospital bracelet still tight to your wrist
We talked to fill the empty space
Dance on the ice until it breaks
They flooded a town so this park 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
You put up a fight
Pressing flowers at night in a book that you loved
The pieces they can't take of us

Put out the light
In your clouded eyes
Kept you inside
Through the summertime
You put up a fight
Pressing flowers at night in a book that you loved
There's pieces they can't take of us
There's pieces they can't take of us
