lyrics

We knew the name of every superhero
By the time that we were five
And you were going to be someone someday
I saw it in your eyes
You, the one who lived on second chances
When I was holding back
You never let me hold on to you
When things began to crack

By the time that we were 17
We’re backed against the wall
These days I can’t remember when and how
Our lives began to stall

Another book, another episode
Another life on trial
Another version of the universe
Another sad denial

Out of the blue, out of the blue, out of the blue
This is how it begins you said
In the seconds we count between
The lightning and the crash

Out of the blue, out of the blue, out of the blue
Like a voice in your head, you said
We breathe in, we breathe out again
So it all disappears

Around the corner on Magdalen Street
We thought it looked like rain
Hope it falls like an avalanche
So we can’t get home again
I hope it falls like an avalanche
So we can’t get home again

Out of the blue, out of the blue, out of the blue
In the spaces that fall between
In the instant that stands between
What’s thought and what’s said
