Baby Blue Lyrics

Baby blue...

My sandpaper sigh
engraves a line
into the rust of your tongue.
I could've been someone
to you
would have painted the skies blue
Baby blue
if you knew...
Baby blue...

Edging closer
you swing my way
I've got no chance
and nothing to say.
But stay
here for a while.
Baby blue...

But if only
you could see
my shadow crossing your path.
It won't be the last...

Baby blue...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song! It's all about a guy who's got it for someone, and he's got it bad! He would do anything as impossible as painting the entire sky, and although he hasn't figured out the right words to say, he longs for them to stay just so that they might see the future that they could have together like he does. I love the pain in the "sandpaper sigh" showing just how much this is grating on the narrator of the song.

However, in the album there is some ad-libbing, that is not covered in the lyrics page that kind of sounds like "bobbing on, the problem, on the problem, on the throbbing: she was falling I was bawling, but I was stopping, she was throbbing, uh huh" Can anyone shed some light on that ridiculous string of words I put together?

@awelty I think it might mean that the guy in song can't make sense of his own feelings, he just knows he loves this person throughout all the confusion and emotions.

@awelty this is so late lol I just figured it but that part I think “she was falling I was bawling” she was falling for another guy so he stayed sad and crying.
