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, 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)
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, 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 (hoo)
And took the power lines, the power lines (hoo)
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?
When 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 world could be burning
Now there's nothing but dark blue
If you've ever been alone
You'll know
Dark Blue
If you've ever been alone
You'll know
You'll know
Breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck
I don't, don't know
What you could possibly expect

I'll wait, I'll wait
For the ambulance to come, ambulance to come
Pick us up off the floor

this is what amazes me. he finished the album AFTER he was diagnosed, and yet, a lot of his songs on the album sounds like what he went through. i think maybe he wrote songs about something else, but then somhow inside him he knew what was going to happen, or felt what he was gonna go through before it happend, and so it related to his cancer.
also, some parts sounds liek the hurricane katrina. and this was WAY before it happened. hes so...cool. hes got like subliminal premenitions..hahahah idk.
to me the song is like, a couple, and they fought, and everyone around them is fighting, and its just so stressful so they slow down and take in everything else that isnt going downhill, and in a room full of pissed of people, they noth feel alone when actually theyr with eachother.
idk. as for me i love the part "have you ever been alone in a crowded room"
i always feel that. my dad loves this song too, being a buddhist.
actually, every human feels this at one point im sure.
