Powder Blue Lyrics

With each mistake,
You either bend or break
With every word I choose
You only seem to bruise
Powder blue always suited you,
I was your suitor too
Until your powder blew

You're going off the deep end
I'm going over all the things I've gotta say

Apologies from my front door
I couldn't love you more

The bell was cracked
Your senses sacked
What once seemed civilized, In fear was paralyzed
I made love blind, I lost my mind
And now I'm over you
As I'm not under you

We thought we'd drive forever
Now is it okay if I walk you to your car?

Apologies, from your car floor
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more

Baby between you and me, love is all we need
You held out your heart
So I could watch it bleed
I never thought you could ever fall
Into my life, so banal
But something so light shouldn't hurt ... at all

Apologies, from my front door
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
Couldn't love you anymore

Very "I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I"m ever gonna love you". In my opinion.

"Apologies from my front door" - she never quite got into his head, into his heart. Or she's leaving it now. He's shutting her out.

"Apologies from your car floor" - the car metaphor again. Steve in particular seems to use it a lot. Cars, driving. Although this is meant to be literal, maybe? He's prostrate on the floor with grief and regret at the thought of hurting someone who appears to be so delicate and light (and easily hurt).

For me this song is about someone who loves another person, and this is never enough for the person being loved, so eventually the person who loves moves on. P.S. Best bridge of a song EVER
