Some things are blue and sudden   All strung out traced and walking along the waterfront   The lights were talking about sunrise   In the middle of the night      Cold tracing on the subway   Night air gone stale and wrapped in a shallow tomb   The lights they start to stretch around us   As the train started down the tracks      (Bridge):      Friends are closing bars   And stumbling for dying stars and   They're all just a little too tired to say   That they're      (Chorus X4):   Trying to get home      Days fall and then they own you   Memories start to end before they ever really get to start   The sky it crumbles down like ashes   Scattered out in patterns on the bay      Days rising like a poet   We pack our things and we lie about staying in touch   The road it rambles out before us   And our heads begin to roam      (Bridge)      (Chorus)      Some things are blue and sudden   All strung out traced and walking along the waterfront   The lights were talking about sunrise   In the middle of the night      (Bridge)      (Chorus)      Some things are blue and sudden
