Interlude 7.6 Yellow or Blue?



Verse 1: 

 I never was much and I never claimed to be 



content to blend in the background scenery

just wanted to live a normal life 

college,



 a job 



maybe a wife



she was constantly the talk of the school



I was just some guy and she was the height of cool

and yet we shared that last amazing night 





and now she's gone and nothing's right

I thought it would continue the next day

but others' plans got in the way

Verse 2: 

That night she left, it just was out of the blue

I didn't worry, much 'cause  this was nothing new

and then I hear the  gut-wrenching news 



and I obbessed over cryptic clues



I wonder through this cluttered empty room



and I can't help it, it feels just like a tomb

Take in the scent of her and my thoughts turn black



As I realize... she's not coming back

And here I thought I had her all figured out

Did anyone really know what she was all about?


Chorus:

Was she Yellow or blue? Was she happy or sad? 



Is she just playing a trick or  are things really bad?

Does she want to live? Does she want to die?



or is she just a helium balloon in the sky 



Will she come back or is she gone for good?

How much more have I misunderstood? 



Why did she leave those clues behind

What the hell was on her mind?


Verse 3

There's  can be no doubt she left a legacy 



the pranks she pulled 



will go down in school history



the things she did here change everyone

I wish she could see how much she's done



They tell me to quit to give her up for lost



I can't follow her down the road that she's been tossed 



they say she just doesn't want to be found

and I can't pull her string back to the ground


But still I search, afraid of what I'll find 

But more afraid of leaving her behind

Bridge:

was the labyrinth  too much for her to bear?



Did the strings break, leaving her in open air?

If only I gotten to know her before,



and now it's after and there's no chance anymore


Verse 4:

a poet once said to look upon the ground



to the grass beneath our feet, and perhaps answers, can be found



But it's must of  a mystery as she

there's so many things these leaves could be



the vessel has cracked, if only just a bit



and maybe straight and fast is the only way out of it

and as I see what this small glimpse can tell

I lose some of myself as well

There's so much  about her that I still don't understand

but I'm looking as hard as I can


Chorus 

Was she Yellow or blue? Was she happy or sad? 



Is she just playing a trick or  are things really bad?

Does she want to live? Does she want to die?



or is she just a helium balloon in the sky 



Will she come back or is she gone for good?

How much more have I misunderstood? 

Why did she leave those clues behind



What the hell was on her mind?

Chorus with Bridge:

Was she Yellow or blue? Was she happy or sad? 



was the labyrinth  too much for her to bear?



Is she just playing a trick or  are things really bad?

Did the strings break, leaving her in open air?

Does she want to live? Does she want to die?



or is she just a helium balloon in the sky 



Will she come back or is she gone for good?

If only I gotten to know her before,

and now it's after and there's no chance anymore

How much more have I misunderstood? 



and now it's after and there's no chance anymore

Why did she leave those clues behind



What the hell was on her mind?
