Paler Shade of Blue

I've tried, to untangle my mind, to make sense of these signs

But I can't seem to

And just when, I see the light on the other end, there dangling by the thread

The last days of my youth

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you

And the rest, of our borrowed time

And it ain't nothing new, standing 'round just like a fool

Till the sun falls from the sky

Well I guess, I couldn't pass the test, I was never like the rest

Always lonely seldom on my own

But things change, we break down and rearrange, between happiness and the pain

Many blessings go untold

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you

And the rest, of our borrowed time

And it ain't nothing new, standing 'round just like a fool

Till the sun falls from the sky

As we go farther, it's getting harder

To know, just what we hope to find

I'm digging deeper, for something sweeter - ohhhh

But all that's there is a six foot box of pine

And I know one day it's mine

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you

And the rest, of our borrowed time

And it ain't nothing new, some men are prophets, some are fools

Who get lost, in their own design
