Royal Blue

Emily, I finally found the edge No one could’ve told me but I knew it when I saw it so I leapt The air was cool across my chest Falling was so beautiful, I brushed my spirit off and fell again Emily, I think I am in love Everything I ever knew is woven through the fabric of a touch I lie awake and wait for god A weary unbeliever finally feeling something greater taking off But what if flying doesn’t take, will I always feel this way Emily, I cannot be alone Something deep inside of me is full of straining wire and bullet holes I lay down on that sinking boat Land on the horizon but the dovеs are blind and flying way too low Emily, it’s everything at oncе Bad news in the morning and an orchid blooming by the wall out front It’s looking down, it’s looking up A mattress by the highway or a mansion, marble lions line the walk And what if flying doesn’t take, will I always feel this way Emily, the rain is on the roof The corrugated metal and the rattle of each drop it tells a truth A morse code, a royal blue A letter to a lover lost somewhere between together and just you Emily, I’m scared of getting old Losing every battle with a body slowly growing still and cold I want to free my fearful soul Climb above the buildings til I’m filled up with a heaven I can hold But what if flying doesn’t take, and we’re alive only to ache Running wild and tempting fate A brilliant fire, a silver blade Will I always feel this way, will I always feel this way, will I always feel this way
