All Turned Blue

You gotta listen to yourself

Don't put too much stock

In anybody else's opinions of you

Are they wearing your shoes?

Another late night mission with this crippling hesitation to find you

We left it too late

And now we're wondering

Why there's another light on

Another candle in another window for a part of you

That's never coming home

When she said she loved you

Did she mean she loved you

Or just the idea, of what you could do, for her?

It's all turned blue for you

It used to be silver and gold

But, now, you just do what you're told

Suburbia has eaten what you've grown

And now, it's all gone cold

These days I don't mind doing anything

As long as I remember it

My mind, and my memory have both gone to

Pot calls the kettle "black" and swung around the back

For a final drag meet

Salt the earth and scorch my feet

Because I'm here with my same bag of used opinions

When I said I loved you

Did I mean I loved you

Or just the idea of what I could do for you?

It's all turned blue for me

I've lived my life in red, gold and green

But, now I've seen all I'll see

Suburbia has reaped what I sowed

And now, it's all gone cold

I've got a spring in my step but nowhere to spring to

And if I squint at this lamp post maybe it looks like the moon

But I never expected my hard choices to come to career versus life

I don't like having to make bad decisions for you

It's all turned blue for you

It used to be silver and gold

But, now, we just do what we're told

Suburbia has eaten what we've grown

And now, it's all gone cold
