[Verse 1]
We were late afternoon
Coffee cups, corner room
You were tracing my name
In the steam on the window
Little laugh, little sigh
Fingers tangled, passing time
Every word felt like flight
Till it turned into limbo
[Chorus]
We go up, we go down
Like a wave on the shoreline
Every kiss, every doubt
Pulls me under, throws me high
If this love is a song
Why’s it sweet then bitter strong?
We’re a blue note hanging long
In between the highs
[Verse 2]
You say “stay, don’t let go”
Then you’re quiet, eyes closed
I can feel you drift out
To a place I can’t follow
One day sun on my skin
Next day storms rolling in
Still I’m here, counting beats
Waiting out the hollow
[Chorus]
We go up, we go down
Like a wave on the shoreline
Every kiss, every doubt
Pulls me under, throws me high
If this love is a song
Why’s it sweet then bitter strong?
We’re a blue note hanging long
In between the highs
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s our rhythm
Folded hearts in time
A little rush, a little distance
You lose yours, I lose mine (ohh)
But when you lean your head on me
The chaos falls in line
For a moment we’re in tune
Then we’re sliding out of time
[Chorus]
We go up, we go down
Like a wave on the shoreline
Every kiss, every doubt
Pulls me under, throws me high
If this love is a song
Let it bruise and still belong
We’re a blue note hanging long
In between the highs
In between the highs
