[Verse 1]
What do you say when there's no words left to be said?
And you're trapped in your heart, caged in your mind, so afraid
What good are our lips and eyes if they're of no use?
The screws that once held me together are coming loose
[Chorus]
But, oh that was you
Your short long hair, that was my blues
And, oh the sky is true
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
[Verse 2]
I said we should paint the town red and you said no
Said, "Your beauty lies in your mind and that's pure gold"
Look in my eyes to the windows, to my soul
You'd stare and you'd look and you'd say you're all I know
[Chorus]
But, oh that was you
Your deep brown eyes, that was my blues
And, oh our love was true
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
[Bridge]
The ocean, the sky, the tears that we cried so soon
You colored my son of a gun that's all you knew
Some of the best things in this world are blue
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
[Chorus]
And oh, oh, oh, that was you
And when you walked away, that was my blues
And, oh that was you
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
Take me back baby
Take me back blue
