[Verse 1]
We are the young blood
The “any-time” assumption
The overstayed
With a jaded name
We are the truce
Waiting for bad news
To chase us down
And tear us inside out

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's try words
Less slow verbs
The action's a fraction
Of how much this hurts

[Chorus]
Oh, it's like I told you
It's like I told you
Oh, when this was too far
Oh, tell me why we wonder
What we were thinking all along
Oh, tell me why we wonder
If your indigo eyes are mine

[Verse 2]
We are expected
But only in the best way
To live a small time
A year: expired
We are supposed to
Fall into exposure
We have the biggest sparkling eyes
(But they both have an ugly side)

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's try words (Let's try words)
Less slow verbs (Less slow verbs)
The action's a fraction
Of how much this hurts (How much this hurts)

[Chorus]
Oh, it's like I told you
It's like I told you
Oh, when this was too far
Oh, tell me why we wonder
What we were thinking all along
Oh, tell me why we wonder
If your indigo eyes are mine

[Bridge]
Let's try words
Less slow verbs
The action's a fraction
Of how much this hurts
Is this what we deserve
Before we're in the dirt?
Miles of aisles
Filled up with files of titles
Describing how much this hurts?
Is this what we deserve
Before we're in the dirt?
Miles of aisles
Filled up with files of titles
Describing how much this hurts?

[Chorus]
Oh, it's like I told you
It's like I told you
Oh, when this was too far
Oh, tell me why we wonder
What we were thinking all along
Oh, tell me why we wonder
If your indigo
Oh, tell me why we wonder
What we were thinking all along
Oh, tell me why we wonder
If your indigo eyes are mine
