No Ordinary Blue

Lyrics

One, two, one, two, three
 Last night
 Turned on the TV
 Looked out the window
 And then pulled down the shades
 And I came to
 The conclusion
 My mind could not be made
 She said: Well what're you thinking?
 I'm just a-wondering
 Is it something that I did?"
 I said: It's nothing
 Just something
 I picked up as a kid
 I hear a loudly empty spaces
 I see a big hole in the view
 I feel an outline that traces
 An imaginary path back to you
 This ain't no ordinary blue
 Last night
 For a split sec
 I was a train-wreck
 I was a complicated guy
 I hope we don't find
 This's the last time
 We ever say goodbye
 The orange gleam
 Is rising
 On the horizon
 Of the outskirts of my mind
 I sat and listened
 As it glistens
 It says "Leave the past behind"
 I hear a loudly empty spaces
 I see a big hole in the view
 I feel an outline that traces
 An imaginary path back to you
 This ain't no ordinary blue
 Too cold to hold
 Too deep to swim to
 Too cold to hold
 Too deep to swim to
 Last night
 Turned on the TV
 Looked out the window
 And then pulled down the shades
 One, two, one, two, three
 Last night
 Turned on the TV
 Looked out the window
 And then pulled down the shades
 And I came to
 The conclusion
 My mind could not be made
 She said: Well what're you thinking?
 I'm just a-wondering
 Is it something that I did?"
 I said: It's nothing
 Just something
 I picked up as a kid
 I hear a loudly empty spaces
 I see a big hole in the view
 I feel an outline that traces
 An imaginary path back to you
 This ain't no ordinary blue
 Last night
 For a split sec
 I was a train-wreck
 I was a complicated guy
 I hope we don't find
 This's the last time
 We ever say goodbye
 The orange gleam
 Is rising
 On the horizon
 Of the outskirts of my mind
 I sat and listened
 As it glistens
 It says "Leave the past behind"
 I hear a loudly empty spaces
 I see a big hole in the view
 I feel an outline that traces
 An imaginary path back to you
 This ain't no ordinary blue
 Too cold to hold
 Too deep to swim to
 Too cold to hold
 Too deep to swim to
 Last night
 Turned on the TV
 Looked out the window
 And then pulled down the shades
