Fountains of Wayne
Bluer Than Blue
When we fly apart it's straight to the heart
And down to the heartache too
And you learn first when you get the worst
And they get the best of you
No mans an island
This troubled ocean 'round me will know that's true
And when you are drifting
I'll build a bridge for you
Fix up your face with a permanent smile
You're gonna need that too
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
Now the man that you found in a factory town
Has gone down to the Promised land
Well what he's paid for a twelve hour day
Could buy him a one night stand
While he's with Miss August
You'rе on the hill reaching out to the troublеd few
Who you promised them shelter, still they will leave you
Now gone are the days of your black and white world
Here is a real world hue
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
One day you find that the stone deep inside you is skyward
Just stand by a man while his rainbow will fade
Wash away anger and turn deeper and deeper into shade
[Outro]
