Curacao Blue Lyrics
I know what shirt you were wearing when I first bared your bones
and in the light of the television, you were my own
did you think I would stay?
did you think I would go?
I was the one to make you aware of the things you ought to know
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
I know just what I was drinking when I first was untrue
sea air, cheap beer, and some loneliness all mixed with curacao blue
did I think it would stay?
what happens there doesn't go
she was the one to make me aware of the things I ought to know
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
it was a mistake that caused your heartache
I was just a kid, you were a kid as well
we were so young, but oh so serious
and I understand exactly why I fell: I didn't really want you or myself.
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
I felt no fear
I wasn't scared at all
and in the light of the television, you were my own
did you think I would stay?
did you think I would go?
I was the one to make you aware of the things you ought to know
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
I know just what I was drinking when I first was untrue
sea air, cheap beer, and some loneliness all mixed with curacao blue
did I think it would stay?
what happens there doesn't go
she was the one to make me aware of the things I ought to know
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
it was a mistake that caused your heartache
I was just a kid, you were a kid as well
we were so young, but oh so serious
and I understand exactly why I fell: I didn't really want you or myself.
I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared
and when I'd wrap my arms around you
I wasn't scared
I wasn't scared
I felt no fear
I wasn't scared at all

One of my favorite songs by him. Mansions is an amazing artist. His lyrics are top notch.
absolutely amazing song. very meaningful. just how he says "I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared and when I'd wrap my arms around you I wasn't scared" melts me. =]
This song is absolutely amazing. I think he’s talking about the night when he first cheated on his girlfriend, and how he was lonely, and drunk which led up to him cheating. A lot of his songs have references to being unfaithful.
This is a beautiful song. I love Mansions.
Fantastic song. I particularly love the line "I understand exactly why I fell, i didn't really want you or myself."
One quick lyric addendum, the line is "I was just a kid, you should have seen yourself" on the album version.
My favorite line is, "I know just what I was drinking when I first was untrue. Sea air, cheap beer, and some loneliness all mixed with curacao blue."

I think it was one of those early relationships where you think you're so in love when you're in it, but then someone comes along who intrigues you more than the person you're with, and you know that you're not going to be with them forever, so you say what the hell and you just go with it and hook up with the person but have to explain yourself to...
