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
