Joelistics - Out Of The Blue lyrics

[Verse 1] Out of the blue it all changed in an instant He was nineteen when she told him she was pregnant Barely out of high school, living in a small town Neither of 'em had a job or money in the bank He got work on the factory floor Struggling to make ends meet but she adored him Always in his corner when her parents started on her, like "He won't ever amount to that much" The baby arrived, really they tried She said , "Let's do the best we can, a day at a time" He started staying out all night getting drunk Convinced he couldn't deal with what he had and what he'd done He lost his job and that was no surprise She said, "I can't go on watching you destroy your life You need to get it together or I'm leaving with our kid" He said, "It's probably best if you left," so she did [Hook: Joel & Kaity] So when you gonna learn? It'll hit you hard Even if it hurts And it always does So when you gonna learn? Let it in your heart We come together and fall apart Out of the blue, my love [Verse 2] Five years later and she's living in the city And she'd severed all contact to her old life Her little girl's at school, she was working days Staying up late and studying through the night Out of the blue, he called up and they talked He said he'd got a job up north on fishing trawlers He hadn't touched a drink for two years, he'd been clean Plus he saved some money on the side in between He cleared his throat, made an awkward joke And asked "Maybe I could come and visit you both? But only if you think it's alright, I mean" She said she'd think about it, the next day she agreed [Hook] It'll hit you hard Even if it hurts Like it always does So when you gonna learn? Let it in your heart We come together and fall apart Out of the blue, my love Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue, my love [Verse 3] He got on a plane and flew across the desert Watching as the world flew by It felt like he held his breath from the airport All the way to her front door the whole time He knocked soft and she opened up And they looked at each other, both dumbstruck Each waiting for the other one to speak first But neither of 'em could find any words, then Out of the blue, as if on cue Trying to hold back the tears in their eyes And with a voice full of cracks and a heart fit to burst She said, "Well, you took your time" [Bridge] These moments make up a lifetime Mistakes we make are not fixed in stone People we love are a lifeline And none of us can do it on our own Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue, love saves us Out of the blue, we all learn that lesson [Hook] So when you gonna learn? It'll hit you hard Even if it hurts Like it always does So when you gonna learn? Let it in your heart We come together and fall apart Out of the blue, my love
