Chipped Blue

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sun hits the rusted rail
Shadows start to grow pale
Six years gone like a ghost
Thing I miss the most
Is that blue on your key
Chipped away for me to see
You left it on the floor
By the heavy bedroom door
[Chorus]
I should have said it then
Back when we were just ten
Or maybe twenty-one
Before you had to run
Now the sky is turning gold
And the truth is getting old
Yeah the truth is getting old
[Verse]
Red stains on the concrete
Saccharine and so sweet
Shared a cup in the heat
Walking down the side street
I can still hear the sound
When your laugh hit the ground
It crinkled at the edge
By the dusty window ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my mouth shut tight
In the middle of the night
Watched the taxi drive away
Nothing left for me to say
[Chorus]
I should have said it then
Back when we were just ten
Or maybe twenty-one
Before you had to run
Now the sky is turning gold
And the truth is getting old
Yeah the truth is getting old
[Bridge]
Across a different sea
Are you thinking of me?
Did you find a new home?
In the streets where you roam?
The harmonium hums low
Watching all the cars go
Just a low and steady drone
Since I’ve been here alone
[Verse]
Just a guy on a stair
Talking to the empty air
Dust on the wooden floor
I don't go there anymore
The paint is peeling back
Fading into the black
I’m just muttering your name
While the city stays the same
[Chorus]
I should have said it then
Back when we were just ten
Or maybe twenty-one
Before you had to run
Now the sky is turning gold
And the truth is getting old
Yeah the truth is getting old
[Outro]
