Blue

You said "I love you" on your birthday when you called about the gift I hope you know that you made my day with that subtle language shift In our relationship I've told you most of this already But it always bears repeating 'Cause when I'm with you I feel steady And silence borne of fear is self-defeating And you know me like a brother And you set me on my feet And you hold my heart so gently I can breathe You're deep blue like the water on the lake And I keep coming back go you I keep coming back to you in everything I say You're deep blue, like the thunder and the rain You've made a home inside my heart A home inside my heart, and you're here to stay We go back farther than my memory does And that's a good number of years And when I think about the future You're the first one who appears And you know me like a brother And you set me on my feet And you hold my heart so gently I can breathe You're deep blue like the water on the lake And I keep coming back go you I keep coming back to you in everything I say You're deep blue, like the thunder and the rain You've made a home inside my heart A home inside my heart, and you're here to stay And I can't help but keep our memories Adjacent to my heart Above the waves like ravaged mariners So they don't fall apart I know we promised to be infinite Our paths will always cross But as our paths diverge, our story splits Might I one day find I've lost you You're deep blue like the water on the lake And I keep coming back go you I keep coming back to you in everything I say You're deep blue, like the thunder and the rain You've made a home inside my heart A home inside my heart, and you're here to stay And you're blue like the sky that watches over all the life on planet Earth And I'm grateful for your birth You're blue like the thunder and the rain And every word I write, every song I sing, every chord I play It all comes back to you You and your blue It comes back to you You and your blue It comes back to you
