I'm so navy blue
I'm so navy blue over you
[Verse 2]

Go back home and wait for some new change that's coming
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just trying to keep my head above water
Get enough sleep and drink enough water
[Chorus]
I'm so navy blue
I'm so navy blue
I'm so navy blue over you
I'm so navy blue
I'm so navy blue
I'm so navy blue over you

Weren't you gonna love me if I just did everything right?
Do you know that I've been holding my breath all of this time?
Weren't you gonna call me when you got back? Was it all lies?
Do you know that I've been holding my breath all of this time?
Weren't you gonna love me if I just did everything right?
I'm so blue
I'm so—
