Boy Blue Lyrics

I really think that it's a shame

Every smile and dance

Every clapping of hands

Every anticipated relation that drowned in a

(Anticipated relation that drowned in a)

Depth that he couldn't pursue

But it's way too far down

And I think he might drown

If he doesn't come up for the air he was he

(If he doesn't come up for the air he was)

He always knew that it wasn't how pretty he was

But he's looking a lot less like he always dreamed

He could grow up to be

And it seems that he wishes

(It seems that he wishes)

He was still stuck inside that dream

Where he's perfect as perfect can seem

And his hearts not bursting at the seams

Oh he sees

That his lights gone out

In the blink of an eye he's in drought

Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt

He passes time for clout

Anyone that can feel when he shouts

A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)

That can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)

A mirrors his worst enemy

Now he's bent of shape

And his mouth is agape

He's appalled or enthralled by the audacity that he

(Appalled or enthralled by the audacity that he)

Has to be so hard to see

Now he's harder to hear

And he's living his fear

That he'll never amount to anything that he

(That he'll never amount to anything that)

He always knew that he'd never be pretty like them

But he's looking a lot less like he always hoped

He could grow up to be

And it seems that he wishes

(It seems that he wishes)

He was still stuck inside that dream

Where he's perfect but realistically

Where he's fine with how's he's meant to be

Oh he sees

That his lights gone out

In the blink of an eye he's in drought

Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt

He passes time for clout

Anyone that can feel when he shouts

A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)

That can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)

The look of his stride

The confident gleam in his eyes

The sun smiles for him

As he dances and spins and he weaves through the crowd like there's no one around

But the grace and the poise is a mask

As he grapples with his only task

Of getting out of bed while he's stuck in his head and to live just as bright as they do in their light

But his lights gone out

In the blink of an eye he's in drought

Of a life-time he's drowning in doubt

He passes time for clout

Anyone that can feel when he shouts

A small boy wrapped in blue that can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)

That can't cry but his flame can burn out

(A small boy wrapped in blue)
