Lagoon Blue Lyrics by Bloc Party
Blue
It was lagoon blue
Your ’57 Ford Anglia
You picked me up in it
Your horn-rimmed glasses
Get in the way
So we do air kisses
Let me breathe you in
In the time it takes for
Two ticks to go blue
It seems I’m smitten
It seems I’m into you
He does it on purpose
He wants to make me wait
I could wait a lifetime for him
He says he likes the way I say his name
And I like the way he says mine
I choose you with grace
I choose you with sensitivity
I choose to reveal
Day after day
It was blue
Cerulean blue
We watch the tankers
Fade from our view
He asks nothing of me
I ask nothing of him
Let the shore we walk on guide us
He says he likes the way
I sigh
When his hand brushes against mine
I choose you with grace
I choose you with sensitivity
I chose to reveal
Day after day
I choose you with love
I choose you with hunger in my heart
I choose you today
And all of the days
And if you feel overwhelmed
If you’re prone to doubt
To apprehend
Take my hand, run with me
Let’s feel the blood
In our cheeks
This break of routine
Has shown me how great these days can be
It’s made me forget everything
This day by your side
Has shown me how sweet this world can be
You’ve made me forget everything
If I could just steal these hours from days
To feel you with me in every way
And I feel right by your side
The night descends
So we head in
To watch a Studio Ghibli film
I fall asleep on your sleeve
With those three words in my dreams
