lyrics
You, my temporary blue,
I’d hope we’d see this through,
I wanna be with you,
My temporary blue,
I see the world in black,
I want my baby back,
I’d hope we’d see this through,
My temporary…
Love it, never seems to last,
It cuts like broken glass,
I want my temporary you.
You, my temporary all,
That slowed down to a crawl,
What more’s a boy to do?
I paint this all for you,
My legendary truth,
My temporary youth,
My piece that doesn’t fit,
My heart buried…
I’m sorry,
Things just didn’t work out,
Maybe if I’d worked out,
You’d stick round a minute or two,
But it, doesn’t seem too mad to,
Think of what we had,
So long my temporary blue…
You, my temporary blue,
I’d hope we’d see this through,
I wanna be with you,
My temporary blue,
I see the world in black,
I want my baby back,
I’d hope we’d see this through,
My temporary,
Love it, never seems to last,
It cuts like broken glass,
It leaves it’s poison memories with you,
But it doesn’t seem too mad to,
Think of what we had,
So long my temporary blue…
