She left him with roses
He told me as if she's to blame
He said "I'm a fool for having loved her"
But a fool
He needs loving just the same

He'll be counting the hours
'til he forgets her face
Oh but a fool's hard to fool
Once he's fallen in love
You can't fool him right out
Once his heart gets
Cemented in place

You know the fire's meant to warm you
Until you stare into the flame
I know it's pretty in the moment
But the same can be said of cocaine

What is today but a slice of forever?
I've found the blues are a personal weather
I see storm clouds in your eyes
Under clear blue skies

Stick with the girl and you'll get stuck together
But stick to this script and things just might not ever get better
I see storm clouds in your eyes
Under nothing but clear blue skies

I got lost in my kitchen
I’m wanderin’ the house and I feel you here haunting the walls
And I know why you’re scared,
Girl you love to feel blue
But you took it too far
Now I’m losing that sweet feeling too

I know it's pretty in the moment
But the same can be said of cocaine
In the heat of July, you might welcome the rainclouds
But oh when you're drowning you don't need the rain

What is today but a slice of forever?
I've found the blues are a personal weather
I see storm clouds in your eyes
Under clear blue skies

Stick with me babe, we can get stuck together
But stick to this script and things just might not ever get better
I've seen storm clouds in your eyes
Under clear blue skies

We had it simple back in ’55
I’d dry every tear that you’d cry
Was it a product of the times?
And had we loved in ’16 might it all have just changed, at the drop of a tear, all our lives rearranged
Would the doctors prescribe, would my brothers’ve told me to run?

Well we’ve only just begun

What is today but a slice of forever?
I've found the blues are a personal weather
I see storm clouds in your eyes
Under nothing but clear blue skies

Stick with me babe, we can get stuck together
You’ll wake up each day with a man who’s just trying to get better
I'll chase storm clouds from your eyes
And replace them with clear blue skies
