The song “Wild Blue” is an anthem for the journey of self discovery associated with parting ways with someone you love.
As with most of John Mayer’s more introspective songs, the first verse reveals what it’s all about without telling too much.
The first two lines unveil the hopeless feeling you e...
[Verse 1]
Never seen the sun before
Laying on the ocean floor
Walking through the wilderness
And living off the loneliness, oh
[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah
All the tears I meant to cry
Dance across the evenin’ sky
And in my sorrow, I can see
That missing you belongs to me, oh
[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
It's a wild blue since you went away
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
[Outro]
And you'll never know
The unlikely beauty in letting you go
