Blue

(album: American Heartbreak - 2022)

Break me down and beat me blue
There ain't a beauty on the planet coming close to you
In the harsh heat of summer or a cool crisp fall
I'd rather be ruined by you than be loved at all

Well my chest-talking, jaywalking, Levi jean queen
I've been everywhere, I swear, and you're the finest I've seen

Break me down and beat me blue
There ain't a kindness on the planet that compares to you
In the dark of the night or the light of day
I'll long for you tomorrow as I did today

Well, my daydreaming, people-pleasing, bright-on-dark-days girl
I fell hard and I've loved wide, and you're the rarest in the world

Well, I've been known to chase extremes
But in my dreams it seems I'm only chasing you
And break me, beat me, tear me down
And drag my ass all over town
I'll whisper you these sonnets till I'm blue
Oh, I'll whisper you these sonnets till I'm blue

Break me down and beat me blue
There ain't a heaven on the planet that saves me like you
Hallelujahs, oh, 'til you go on for miles
A grown-ass man grinning like a child

High on the mountain or the valley low
Only thing that heals my blues no matter where I go
