[Verse 1]
Met you on a slow night, white tee, cheap cologne
Laughing at your own jokes, scrolling through your phone
You looked up and my whole world
Turned that blue you call your own
You said, “You like trouble?” I said, “I start it too”
We kissed in the backseat, fog on the rearview
Now my mirror’s full of pictures
All of them staring back in blue
[Chorus]
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
You got me seeing colors I never knew
Yeah, my blue-eyed trouble
Every shade of heaven hiding in you
When you look right through me
I’m falling, I’m falling, nothing I can do
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
I’d risk it all to drown in you
[Verse 2]
Mama said be careful who you give your nights
Daddy said that love like this don’t come twice
Boys back home still whisper
But you just pull me in, “come here”
Cooking in your hoodie on a Tuesday noon
Dancing on the tiles, out of step, in tune
You hum some old slow number
Hit that note and I’m undone
[Chorus]
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
You got me seeing colors I never knew
Yeah, my blue-eyed trouble
Every shade of heaven hiding in you
When you look right through me
I’m falling, I’m falling, nothing I can do
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
I’d risk it all to drown in you (oh, drown in you)
[Jazz Band Break]
[Horns punch a syncopated riff, call-and-response with sax]
[Walking bass steps forward, keys comp lightly, rimshots crack]
[Band hits a stop-time figure as vocal ad-libs over it]
(yeah… oh, my blue-eyed trouble… take it up, take it up)
[Bridge]
They stare on the street when we’re holding hands
You squeeze a little tighter, say, “Let ’em stare, man”
In a world so loud, you’re my quiet truth
My wild, my calm, my midnight proof
If loving you’s the rumor, let ’em talk
We’re a full brass band on a Sunday walk
Every note in my chest rings out for you
From the ground to the high notes, all that blue (all that blue)
[Chorus]
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
You got me seeing colors I never knew
Yeah, my blue-eyed trouble
Every shade of heaven hiding in you
When you look right through me
I’m flying, I’m crying, laughing with you too
Oh, my blue-eyed trouble
Every road I’m on is leading to you
[Outro]
Look at me, baby, one more time
Catch that light and wreck my mind
Just one glance and I’m brand new
Blue-eyed trouble, I’m in love with you (oh yeah)
