Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so

You said your mother only smiled on her TV show

You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope

I'll hope you make it to the day you're twenty-eight years old

[Pre-Chorus]

You're drippin' like a saturated sunrise

You're spilling like an overflowin' sink

You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece

And now you're tearin' through the pages and the ink

[Chorus]

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is gray

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

[Verse 2]

You were a vision in the morning when the light came through

I know I've only felt religion when I've lied with you

He said, "You'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too"

And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you

[Pre-Chorus]

You're drippin' like a saturated sunrise

You're spilling like an overflowin' sink

You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece

And now you're tearin' through the pages and the ink

[Chorus]

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is gray

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

[Bridge]

You were red, and you liked me because I was blue

But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky

Then you decided purple just wasn't for you

[Chorus]

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is gray

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

[Outro]

Everything is blue

Everything is blue

Everything is blue

Everything is blue
