Boy Blue

Ohhh I really think that it's a shame Every smile and dance Every clapping of hands Every anticipated relation that drowned in a (Anticipated relation that drowned in a) Depth that he couldn't pursue But it's way too far down And I think he might drown If he doesn't come up for the air he was he (If he doesn't come up for the air he was) He always knew that it wasn't how pretty he was But he's looking a lot less like he always dreamed he could grow up to be And it seems that he wishes (It seems that he wishes) He was still stuck inside that dream Where he's perfect as perfect can seem And his hearts not bursting at the seams Oh he sees That his lights gone out In the blink of an eye he's in drought Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt He passes time for clout Anyone that can feel when he shouts A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) That can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) A mirrors his worst enemy Now he's bent of shape And his mouth is agape He's appalled or enthralled by the audacity that he (Appalled or enthralled by the audacity that he) Has to be so hard to see Now he's harder to hear And he's living his fear That he'll never amount to anything that he (That he'll never amount to anything that) He always knew that he'd never be pretty like them But he's looking a lot less like he always hoped he could grow up to be And it seems that he wishes (It seems that he wishes) He was still stuck inside that dream Where he's perfect but realistically Where he's fine with how's he's meant to be Oh he sees That his lights gone out In the blink of an eye he's in drought Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt He passes time for clout Anyone that can feel when he shouts A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) That can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) The look of his stride The confident gleam in his eyes The sun smiles for him As he dances and spins and he weaves through the crowd like there's no one around But the grace and the poise is a mask As he grapples with his only task Of getting out of bed while he's stuck in his head and to live just as bright as they do in their light Ohhh But his lights gone out In the blink of an eye he's in drought Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt He passes time for clout Anyone that can feel when he shouts A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) That can't cry but his flame can burn out (A small boy wrapped in blue) Ohhh Mmm
