I screamed at my skin, "please stay younger"
Where did the years go when I was feeling stronger?
Right out the window when I was driving your car
In the rear view I saw my heart
It spun and landed in the front yard
Of a place I knew before
I knew it, distance crossed my mind
Divides my spirits, half for faith and half for better times

So how long is four years? it's an eternity I suppose
Infinity beckons me to a simple place to hide

Lay down
And cover your eyes so bright from awful morning light
I'm so scared of death, not fond of life
And facing my fears doesn't feel right
So, I'll carry on tonight
Lay down
And draw the blinds, the past is always on my mind

So call me at midnight
Or call me anytime
I'm patiently waiting
The past is on my mind

I memorized the nuances
Of conversation held that night
I memorized every detail of your skin
We were spread so thin
Could've seen you in the basement
Could've seen you in the hall
But it doesn't even matter
Cuz it was nothing at all

Could've seen you in the basement
Could've seen you in the hall
But it doesn't even matter
Cuz it was nothing at all

I've been thinking what you said is true
Our lives are reds and greens and shades of blue
Our colored pasts reveal what is true
Nothing that i said to you paints a pretty portrait of us two
We're different shades of blue
