Out of the Blue
Delta Goodrem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A new beginning
A new chapter of my life
Started the day
When I thought
It could be my last.
My eyes were wide shut but
I hadn't given up
Just thought I'd be walking
The world alone.

Out of the blue
There I met you,
Showed me a life I can't see without you,
And there's just no way,
That I can fight these emotions
Your energy running through me
Nobody can renew me like you.
Out of the blue
Can this be true!

Family and friends they were my life,
I wasn't one for butterflies
But you gave me love that I can't disguise.
There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.

No emotions,
My whole body felt like ice.
Needed to feel,
That the sun would shine my way.
My world had turned to dust
But I, had my faith and trust
Just thought I'd be walking,
The world alone.

Family and friends they were my life,
I wasn't one for butterflies,
But you gave me love that I can't disguise.
There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.

Out of the blue,
There I met you,
I can't believe that this happened so soon.
There's just no way,
That I can fight these emotions,
Your energy running through me.

(out of the blue)
(there I met you)
(showed me a life I can't see without you)

(out of the blue)
(there I met you)
(showed me a life I can't see without you)

There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.

Line by Line Meaning

A new beginning
Starting a fresh phase in life


A new chapter of my life
Beginning a new phase in my life journey


Started the day
It all began on a particular day


When I thought
During a moment of reflection and contemplation


It could be my last.
Considering the possibility of life's end


My eyes were wide shut but
Obliviousness to the impending change


I hadn't given up
Not losing hope or faith


Just thought I'd be walking
Feeling alone and unsupported


The world alone.
Navigating life all by oneself


Out of the blue
Unexpectedly and surprisingly


There I met you,
Our paths crossed


Showed me a life I can't see without you,
Introducing me to a life that I wouldn't want to live without you


And there's just no way,
Feeling certain and sure of something?


That I can fight these emotions
Resigned and accepting of the love and feelings experienced


Your energy running through me
Feeling invigorated by the presence of a loved one


Nobody can renew me like you.
No one else can make me feel as rejuvenated as you do


Family and friends they were my life,
Individuals who were very important to me


I wasn't one for butterflies
Not someone who was easily swept off their feet


But you gave me love that I can't disguise.
Being overwhelmed by romantic love for the first time


There will be times when we're apart,
Occasions when physical separation occurs


I want you to know you're in my heart,
Seeking to reassure the loved one of their importance and worth to the singer


Growing into a beautiful garden.
Evolving together into something beautiful

@asherxmusic

This was one of the most anticipated songs in Australian music history. And she delivered.

@Pinky-1888

Yip... Until Pete Sampras cheated on her!!!

@Pinky-1888

What goes around!!!.. she then went on to force Brian McFadden to move to Oz... And stopping him have ANY contact with his daughters by Kerry Katona!!!

@Thediamondduck11

I remember it very well. And it wasn’t just because it was her first release post Innocent Eyes, she’d had gone through and beaten Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And @Pinky-1888, it was Mark Philippoussis. Not Pete Sampras.

@skippybartalozzi

and then she had that hideous Mistaken Identity .... B O M B E D !!!!!!!!

@johnburke6332

​@@Pinky-1888Hahaha!

@MrBritlover

This song is very touching :( She released this song back in 2004 after she beated cancer a year before.

@EraJavukh

I downloaded this song with dial-up back in the day. I was ecstatic when the download finished after 2 hours.

@shenghan9385

You must be kidding. This is her second album. So you should have been using ADSL instead of the dial up. My guess. I could be wrong though. I remember where I bought this Album of hers but I am just not that sure when. Would have been after 2003 but before 2006. Gee. My fading memory of the past. Seems like all the pleasant memories were fading away faster than I grew old. It was a peaceful quiet time and I really didn't need anything anyone to feel that I enjoyed every single seconds when I listened to her songs. Well. I was not completely right in eating that. I did need a car because I really only listen to music in the car. Lol

@EraJavukh

@Sheng Han Nah really, I switched to ADSL in 2007 or so. Only the richer people in my area had ADSL in 2004-05, when her second album came out (or whatever this one was). Btw, I meant I downloaded the VIDEO, not the audio of the song. Videos took a long time to download.
