Baby Blue
Hannah Devereaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you so quite?
Is there someone running around inside your mind again?
You can change it
And you can fix it
Like you always do
Baby blue
What's keeping you silent?
Would you do better? If it would all just
And in the moonlight you look like your mother
And the sunlight feels warmer when you smile
Oh baby blue
You'll fall in love with love again someday I promise you
The storms inside your eyes cast shadows on the sky
But they'll be blown away pretty soon
Baby blue
Oh baby blue, I know you've been trying
And you know that every star that you can find then
You're loosing your grip
Oh honey don't slip
The current's pulling you
And in the moonlight you look like your mother
And the sunlight feel warmer when you smile
Oh blue, baby blue
You'll fall in love with love again some day I promise you
The storms inside your eyes cast shadows on the sky
But they'll be blown away pretty soon
Baby blue
Oh baby blue
This days aren't
So guard your heart like it's all you know how to do
Amd when your world finally stops spiring I'll be home waiting for you
Baby blue
