A Sea of Songs

"Dark Blue" - Jack's Mannequin

This was a night full of random songs. It was getting later and later and I still couldn't pick one to write about. I'd have an idea, but I promised myself that if it's too difficult to tell a simple story about a song, then it's a sign to choose another.

And with the play list I have in my head, there were plenty.

So...at 2:00am it finally hit me.

It was kinda strange because I haven't heard it in a long while. I mean, when it first met my ears I fell in love with it immediately. From the melody to the lines. Everything in its entirety was beautiful! So, I listened to this same song...constantly.

Until one day, I decided to come up for air. I ejected my poor worn down CD and placed it in a safe place. Surprisingly, I almost forgot about it altogether until last night/this morning, Jan. 31st.

Now I'm sinking into it all over again.

Lyrics:

I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don't (don't know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I'll wait (I'll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect under this condition so
Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue

This flood (this flood) is slowly rising up swallowing the ground
Beneath my feet,
Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I'll swim (I'll swim) as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down
And now all I can see are the planets in a row
Suggesting it's best that I slow down
This night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue

We were boxing
We were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing)
You were swinging for Mars
And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines (the power lines)
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do

It was dark blue Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the room could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue

If you've ever been alone in the dark blue
If you've ever been alone you'll know (you'll know)
