Black
Carter Hulsey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through

The hole in my head is from the fire in your tongue
Our fights with the sink, our fights in the sun
The rinse in my hands, the bills on these strings
But i'll make it work, cause these are our dreams

I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through

I lie awake alone in my bed
Needles can't fix this hole in my chest
And you're in some town a thousand miles away
You're singing your dreams
Now you're singing my name

I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through

I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same




Baby, I love you
We'll make it through

For 9 years, I can’t stop listening to this song. Super underrated

@Wachubalak

Dear Chiara, I knew in our Sophomore year that you were something special. No one had ever cared for me like you had and when I left you in the Philippines to live with my dad in the states, I thought about us the other 2 years of my High school life while we were apart. Now that we've been talking the last 5 months everyday online, you've made me feel again. I've had and always will love you. The Pacific and the miles between San Francisco and Manila will never stop us. I love you. Love, Daniel
