Joey Batey
Wild Blue Yonder
[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland]
Without you, I’m stronger, I’m no longer
Filled with wonder
How wrong you were
[Joey Batey]
You. You told me I was younger
That I was filled with wonder
How wrong you were
[Madeleine Hyland]
For you, my lungs were pulled asunder
Saw that wild blue yonder and said: ‘such endless blue’
[Joey Batey]
For you. I would have gone so much blonder
Seen that wild blue yonder and said
Let’s end this too
[Joey Batey]
So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off
Grip the bathroom rug my skin’s grown so soft
[Madeleine Hyland]
So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes
Get a grip, we're grownups
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Let’s wander, till the fuckers demand an encore
Flirting (Wasn’t flirting) At the back of a bookshop
Come and rip off my socks like you’re blasting the locks off of a bank vault. Halt!
This time we’re done for
[Chorus: Both]
Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be wolves
So hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you too
[Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland]
Every stone you threw, I stood on to better see the view
[Joey Batey]
I’ve got something in my eye
[Madeleine Hyland]
I surrender what was, what could have been
All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried
Try please try for me
[Joey Batey]
Don't you ever wonder, what could have been?
All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried
Tried my best to get thinner
[Both]
Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long
Those songs we sung, those words we flung
For fear of sound
All those books that we both drowned
And the candle we lit, well we’ll use it to burn this whole place to the ground
I’m lost
I’m found
In you
[Chorus: Both]
Hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Can’t you hear that scratching?
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you too
[Bridge: Madeleine Hyland]
Every brick you hurled, I’ll use to build this world
This world, this world, this world
[Chorus: Both]
Let’s hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be all our demons darling
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you, I’d bruise you
[Chorus: Both]
So hide under the covers
We don’t know what’s out there
Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire, I dunno
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you
I’d bruise you
