Blue Bloods Lyrics
All the east coast blue bloods had come out west
And I watched them argue about who loved you the best
I was conspicuously of my kind
Overdressed but woefully under-refined
With a story held together like boulders with a piece of twine
Three helicopters circling
Retreating and returning
Your photographs were on the news
And I was there just out of view
I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would have been
And when you caught my gaze I turned away
And planned an exit like a grand escape
As I watched you spinning through the revelers like a cheap ballet
These words all sound familiar
Convictions of forever
You tied a wish to a balloon
And watched it fly into the blue
But you will find someday soon
That it will fall, yes it will fall
They all do
And I watched them argue about who loved you the best
Overdressed but woefully under-refined
With a story held together like boulders with a piece of twine
Retreating and returning
Your photographs were on the news
And I was there just out of view
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would have been
And planned an exit like a grand escape
As I watched you spinning through the revelers like a cheap ballet
Convictions of forever
You tied a wish to a balloon
And watched it fly into the blue
But you will find someday soon
That it will fall, yes it will fall
