Lyrics
The sky is blue
January's cold
You hurt me bad
And I didn't have it coming
But I still want you
As I ice my wounds
What can I do to keep me in the running?
Can we go outside and be honest?
Can we really survive beyond this?
Can love stop being scary?
Can we say a Hail Mary, and be full of grace again?
The grass is green
August sun is warm
You crossed a line
And I didn't push you
But I still want you
As I leave the room
What can I do to change this whole direction?
Can we go outside and be honest?
Can we really survive beyond this?
Can love stop being scary?
Can we say a Hail Mary, and be full of grace again?
