April (Black and Blue)

Remember the week when I skinned my knee and You spent an hour applying Neosporin Turns out I'm allergic Then it got infected And just when it was healing I fell on the same knee again Then your dog bit my eyebrow It wasn't bad so it was funny Until a huge piece of glass Fell onto my forehead Thought I might have a concussion I had to get on an airplane So I crossed my shaky fingers And hoped for the best All the while the world was falling apart What I thought I had with both arms Was slipping away And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded I guess it's good to start over To get pushed to the edge What comes out of the fire is never what you expect Feels like I'm drowning inside this spreadsheet Pulling numbers out the blue Search my recent calls for you But I choose Lucy instead I try not to cry in my head You're settling into all you've ever hoped for Feels like I'm losing my friend All the while the world was falling apart What I thought I had with both arms Was slipping away And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded I guess it's good to start over To get pushed to edge What comes out of the fire is never what you expect And then just as soon I was faced with the thought of losing you, too With my heart black and blue Don't they know we've always hated hospital rooms I hope you know How much I love your new tattoo I hope it shows How much love we all have for you All the while the world was falling apart What I thought I had with both arms Was slipping away And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded I guess it's good to start over To get pushed to edge What comes out of the fire is never what you expect With my heart black and blue, I still have love for you, I still have love for you
