The Novel Ideas - The Blue Between Us lyrics

[Verse 1] Well my mind's still limber but my heart's grown old From the time I left the only place I know And it makes me happy we didn't get let go I couldn't stand to see our love just decompose [Chorus 1] Now I've been walking home nearly every night And here's to everyone I ever loved but had to leave behind For the one thing I can't find though I've been looking half my life And it's damn hard to explain but I will try it if you like [Verse 2] If you ask me once I'll tell you so That the blue between us never felt so cold And I miss the folk singers from the days of old When a three chord song could save your soul And no I'm never on time least that's what I'm told So why's everything feel like it moves too slow? And if I were scared I wouldn't let it show Cause if I die tonight I'm not going home [Chorus 2] Why's it seem so wrong to miss the town you love? When there's just one state that you cannot stop thinking of I wouldn't say I'm patriotic, but I think that's what I've become Sometimes it takes where you are not just to remember where you're from [Verse 3] Was it my fault that I meant, every single word I said? When it told you it was not the end And if everything goes wrong, I hope we can get along If I lost you I would lose my best friend [Ending] And now we're weathering the storm Side by side we're looking on It takes a certain kind of love to bear this load But it's not the tired romance of the open road
