Blue and you lean on me You know that you're crushing me You're soaking and I cannot breathe You're seeding the clouds You're building a web 'cross the night An unusual night meant for me Collecting dead rainbows From puddles and mires Taking them home to warm by the fire This flower's in bloom It'll never expire It's just coming round again I'm tearing my heart from the seams I keep tearing my heart on the seams But I'll keep pushing you 'cause I know just where you're going Yeah I'll be pushing you till it's too far to get back home Won't put my soul on strike 'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like Blue and you lean on me You know that you're crushing me You're sulking, but still I can breathe You're seeding the clouds You're building a web 'cross the night Saved by unusual daydreaming ways I'm tearing my heart from the seams I keep tearing my heart at the seams But I'll keep pushing you 'cause I know just where you're going Yeah I'll keep pushing you till it's too far to get back home Won't put my soul on strike 'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like Yeah, I'll keep loving you like it's all I've ever known Yeah, I'll be giving up till it's too far to get back home I'll put my heart on strike 'Cause at the speed of light, I can be out of sight Yeah, I'll be loving you like it's all I've ever known Yeah, I'll be loving you till it's too far to get back home Won't put my soul on strike 'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like
