lyrics

The tile coulda been a hunter green and shade of a pale cream.
But my memory’s a little foggy still from all the steam.
All I remember: you were wearing much too much.
But I wouldn’t say that. I just hinted. And joked. And such.
I wasn’t hard of hearing but I was struggling to see.
When you shaped your lips to say “tomorrow comes early”
Cause you know me
I got blue breath.
Blue breath.
Yeah, I’ve been frozen. But I could thaw for you.

Why didn’t you sound the alarm?
I’m still bleeding from the Candy.
I crawled in your window.
Tomorrow, it comes early.
Please, just one?
I feel like exploding into gold.
I think I can handle it. I’ve handled it, so I’ve been told.
I’ve got blue breath.
Blue breath.
Like the frozen rose I found for you.

The pink of your cheeks.
The whites of your eyes.
Blue as the velvet.
Black as midnight on a moonless night.
Blue as your velvet.
The pink of your cheeks.
The whites of your eyes.
Grey cloud above your head.
Blue as your velvet.
Black as midnight on a moonless night.
Blue as my breath.
