[Verse 1]
These days that never change
Laying in the blur of a deep blue indigo
Below a fading sky
I heard the same today
The thundering applause that as always never came
The song I sang as empty as the life I waste

[Verse 2]
So things would never change
I wrote inside my notebook, a far off fairytale
The starring role you played
This month is empty too
I’m cut off from the world, society, all the news
My life slowly drips away, like the ink I write in

[Pre-Chorus 1]
As I’ve gottеn older, this dream from my younger bygonе years, it slowly starts to fade...
And all I can do is wait

[Chorus 1]
When I, when I look up and see the clouds above
They all just, just pass me by and disappear
The night sky full of petals dancing in the wind
So much so it almost feels like a dream
Like the way I’m losing sight of you, it seems
[Verse 4]
My eyes, they point straight down
Realizing now that life is nothing but
One trade-off after the next
(Ugh!)
I don’t believe in fate, or love or life or things they play on the radio
There isn’t any use for things that can’t be sold

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The now I so wanted, I threw in the trash bin
And watching it all slowly fade away...
I’m lying still here in wait

[Chorus 2]
Just now, just now I saw a distant image of
You far out of sight when I had closed my eyes
My notebook filled with flowers dancing in the night
Like the one I hold inside my eyes

[Bridge]
Life is just one trade-off after another
Something that I learnt quick as I got older
Elma, it’s been you, y’know
The music I’ve been listening that’s kept me going
Two verses left, not even worth mentioning
Since life is priced as
How tragically the storyline ends
[Chorus 3]
Just then, just then, I saw your picture in my mind
Oh, despite, despite the blue that blurs your smile
Those petals dancing on the wind across the sky
As the indigo blue fills my eyes

[Outro]
Cause I, cause I...
I thought I saw you dancing in the distant sky
Carried by the wind and out of sight
