Navy blue

NAVY BLUE (E A D G B E, capo 2)

 

Why is it so hard to do nothing when I need to? Sleeping under stars because I need to speak to you. Flickers in the dark and the lights just turn off and on.

Tonight feels like a swimming pool. I want to lie down on the grass under the stars with you and watch the sky turn navy blue.

 

Why is it so wrong to be stuck here on the right side? When it’s time to run I hope they forget what I look like. When the morning comes, if it ever does at all.

And I’ll make up a plate for you. I’ve been hiding from myself. I’ve been trying to help. But there’s nothing else I want to do.

 

Cold from the tap. Hot in the sun. Swimming in the moon. Hanging from the stars. Cold in your hands but warm in my heart.

And there’s nothing else I want to do. Except lie down on the grass under the stars with you. And watch the sky turn navy blue.
