I know things that I can’t put words to
Only tell you how it feels on the tongue
Feels like spring and it sounds like a funeral
Though I’ve never been to one
And when the mourning’s done
You’ll wear your true colors
In summer
You look good in blue and in love
And I don’t know what to say
Something’s blooming, something’s dying
But you look like change
Let’s go down to the city on the ocean
Neon nightlife of arcades
Roller coasters scraping sky
Let us go then, you and I
As you zoom in, the orchestra swells
Pan out across the waves
You’re the close-up and the lead
And I’ll play the starlet, honey
You look good in blue and in love
And I don’t know what to say
No one’s moving, no one’s crying
To the movies no one’s buying
But you look like a change
(you look like a change)
How to love when the city’s on fire
How to live within the lens
How to wish for a smaller story
When the screenplay never ends
Let me give you a thought to hold onto
If I can’t give you a hand
Pick the place where we will go when
People touch and time is golden
You look good in blue and in love
And I don’t know what to say
No one’s moving, no one’s crying
To the movies no one’s buying
But you look like a change
(you look like a change)
