Hold On To The Blue

Verse 1

Stepped out my front door

Wind took the whole street with it

Old photographs in my mind

Folding like paper cranes

Maybe I let that summer pass

Maybe I let you drift slow

Now the garden's overgrown

And the gate won't swing no more

Pre-Chorus

I keep turning the pages

But the ink ran dry long ago

I keep calling your name

But the line just hums low

Chorus

Hold on to the blue

When the sky forgets its color

Hold on to the truth

When the floor gives way under

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Rooftop in the rain

Counting drops that never land

Somewhere a radio plays

A hook I half remember

Maybe I chased the wrong star

Maybe I built on borrowed time

Now the milk's gone sour

And the porch light's flickering low

Pre-Chorus

I keep tracing the outline

But the chalk has washed away

I keep singing the chorus

But the words don't stay

Chorus

Hold on to the blue

When the sky forgets its color

Hold on to the truth

When the floor gives way under

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

I was a river carving sandstone

You were the bend I never saw

I was a match struck in the wind

You were the gust that blew it out

Chorus

Hold on to the blue

When the sky forgets its color

Hold on to the truth

When the floor gives way under

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm
