​practice

[Verse 1]
Dead, missed all the attention
Should've checked your mentions
(They were saying nice things)
It might've consoled you
Red flags at every dead end
Didn't check your best friends
(Still we found it frightening)
And we would've told you

[Chorus]
That love is just practice
We'll keep working at it
(It's true, love)
Love is just practice
We'll keep working at
('Til we're blue love)

[Post-Chorus]
You were blue love
You were blue
You were blue love
You were blue

[Verse 2]
Dressed, washed up on the river
All of your forgivers
(They let you go lightly)
If only they'd shown you
But you just left
What about your brother?
Did he tell your mother?
(Did it hit her like lightning?)
But they would've told you

[Chorus]
That love is just practice
We'll keep working at it
It's true, love
Love is just practice
We'll keep working at 'til we're blue love
Love is just practice
No permanent damage can ruin love
Love is just practice
We'll keep working at 'til we're blue love

[Post-Chorus]
You were blue love
You were blue
You were blue love
You were blue

[Chorus]
Love is just practice
We'll keep working at it
It's true, love
Love is just practice
We'll keep working at 'til we're blue love

[Outro]
Love is just practice, we-
Love is just practice, we-
Love is just practice, we-
Love is just practice, we-
Love is just practice, we'll keep working at it, it's-
Love is just practice, we-
Love is just practice, we-
