Out of the blue
Katie Pruitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No other color would do
We watched the clouds move all around
Uncovering feelings unfound
And I can't imagine when
I can't imagine why I'd ever wanna leave you, dear
If we stay right here
But the morning came and stole you right
Out of the blue
Your eyes are full of yellows and greens
They turn into water and fall from your cheeks
Now we're going deep into the dark
And it's hard to tell where we are
And I can't imagine when
I can't imagine why I'd ever wanna leave you, dear
If we stay right here
We wouldn't have to worry about anything
But the morning fades and so do you
Out of the blue
Ooh, what a lovely day for loving you
Ooh, what a lovely day for loving you
Love, oh
The sunset it bled orange and red
In a perfect explosion behind your head
While we're looking up, somehow we forget
That even the best days will end
Now I can't remember when
I can't remember why you packed your bags and left me here
It's been a whole year
Since we said we'd never find somebody new
Now I hardly ever talk to you
But today, I stopped and thought of you
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out, out of the blue
The opening lines of Katie Pruitt's song Out Of The Blue suggest a sudden, unexpected appearance of someone or something that immediately strikes an impression in the singer's mind. She sings, "You must've come from out of the blue, no other color would do." Here, the "color" could refer to the feelings or emotions associated with the appearance, indicating that the singer is rendered speechless and overwhelmed by the newness and uniqueness of the experience. The next lines describe the setting, where they watch clouds moving while unearthing feelings otherwise unknown. Perhaps this signals the beginning of a relationship or an emotional connection that they might be exploring for the first time.
In the second verse, the singer describes the person with whom she has this intense experience. She talks about how their eyes are full of yellows and greens that eventually turn into tears, implying that they share deep emotions. They both enter a dark space which they cannot navigate easily, indicating that they are going through a difficult phase that requires their partnership to survive. Later, the song suggests a time jump where the singer remembers their past experience and realizes that it has been a whole year since they said they would never find someone new. This indicates that the relationship has ended, and the person who came "out of the blue" is gone.
Overall, "Out of the Blue" seems to be a song about the dazzling impact that people or experiences can have on one's life, the beauty of the moment that fades away as time moves forward, and the longing for the past that sometimes comes out of nowhere. It is a reflection of the intensity of emotions that can flare up and change one's life outlook.

You must've come from out of the blue
It seems like you appeared out of nowhere
No other color would do
You are exactly who I was looking for
We watched the clouds move all around
We enjoyed the simple things in life together
Uncovering feelings unfound
Discovering new emotions we didn't know we had
And I can't imagine when
I can't remember exactly when
I can't imagine why I'd ever wanna leave you, dear
I can't think of a good reason to ever leave you
If we stay right here
As long as we're together in this moment
We wouldn't have to worry about anything
Life would be perfect and worry-free
But the morning came and stole you right
You left me suddenly and unexpectedly
Your eyes are full of yellows and greens
Your eyes are bright and full of life
They turn into water and fall from your cheeks
You cry easily and express your emotions openly
Now we're going deep into the dark
We are experiencing difficult times
And it's hard to tell where we are
We feel lost and uncertain about our future
The morning fades and so do you
As time passes, our relationship is fading away
Ooh, what a lovely day for loving you
Today is a perfect day to express my love for you
The sunset it bled orange and red
The sunset was beautiful and intense
In a perfect explosion behind your head
The sunset made you look even more stunning
While we're looking up, somehow we forget
We get caught up in the moment and forget about the future
That even the best days will end
We must remember that good times don't last forever
It's been a whole year
It's been a long time since we last talked
Since we said we'd never find somebody new
Since we promised to never move on from each other
Now I hardly ever talk to you
We've drifted apart and don't talk much anymore
But today, I stopped and thought of you
I was reminded of you out of the blue
Out of the blue
Suddenly and unexpectedly
