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
