[Verse 1: BATTS]
You watch the sun it rises over these blue horizons
Baby I’m fickle hearted, I’m not conventionally started
I wish I rose like you rose
Full bloomed and always first chose
I’m likely staying ‘till the end
[Chorus: BATTS]
I wish I could see the blue babe
I wish I could see the blue

[Verse 2: Sharon Van Etten]

Never opening up my wings
Falling into you
[Chorus: BATTS & Sharon Van Etten]
I wish I could see the blue babe

[Bridge: BATTS & Sharon Van Etten]
I wish I could see the blue babe
That everything left on this place

That should be beautiful
I want to feel the way I used to feel
Is that possible
I want to see the light seep through the cracks
Will that come back
I don’t care where I start just help me out
[Chorus: BATTS & Sharon Van Etten]
I just want to see the blue babe
I just need to see the blue
I wish I could see the blue babe
But all I do is feel
