The Bluest Things On Earth

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 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 [Chorus] Put out the light In your clouded eyes Kept you inside Through the summer time You put up a 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 tight to your wrist We talked to fill the empty space Danced 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... [Chorus] 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 love The pieces they can't take of us [Chorus] 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 love These pieces they can't take of us These pieces they can't take of us
