deep blue

back when we were the innocents
didn't know yet what life meant
the sun still shone when we got out of bed
the house was still warm
we believed what we said

something happened on the way here
something crushed in on what we held dear
something broke the glass
that held us in tight
something presses in my heart
it's something I try to fight

but you grew into the only thing you knew
spread out wide awkward wings and flew
away away, so far away
i miss the deep blue boy that would always say ...

I'd love you forever
hold me close
leave you never
and when it gets dark
I still believe
blue eye wonder

now I pray that everyday
you'd look past my faults and not walk away
we could never go back, it's the pain of life
we can only hold on, fight for what's right

and I see through what you want people to see
I see deep blue boy -- eyes like the sea
now dark and vieled as if in a dream
hold on tight please, things aren't as they seem

one day will be clear, we'll come out the otherside
and I want you to say you had nothing to hide
and it was just what you were, wanted to be
 I can't understand, but I want you to see

I'd love you forever
hold me close
leave you never
and when it gets dark
I still believe
blue eye wonder

So, come back, running
run with me
Come back
prodigal son to be
