[Verse 1]
Last night, turned on the TV
Looked out the window
And then pulled down the shades
And I came to the conclusion
My mind cannot be made
[Verse 2]
She said "Well what're you thinkin'?
I'm just a-wonderin', is it somethin' that I did?"
I said, "It's nothin', just somethin'
I picked up as a kid"
[Chorus]
I hear a lot of empty spaces
I see a big hole in you
I feel an outline that traces
An imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary blue
[Verse 3]
Last night for a split sec
I was a trainwreck
I was a complicated guy
I hope we don't find
This is the last time
We ever say goodbye
[Verse 4]
The orange moon is risin'
On the horizon
Of the outskirts of my mind
I sat and listened
As it glistened
It said, "Leave the past behind"
[Chorus]
I hear a lot of empty spaces
I see a big hole in the view
I feel an outline that traces
An imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary blue
[Outro]
Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim through
Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim through
[Verse 1]
Last night turned on the TV
Looked out the window
And then pulled down the shades
