My Blue Heaven

Taking Back Sunday · Louder Now [2006]

Two sides twist and then collide;

You're calling off the guards. ( Am I coming? )

I'm coming through. ( Am I coming? )

Adulteress conditioned to a spin cycled submission.

You know, sometimes it just feels better to give in.

( Sometimes, it just feels better to give in. )



And it's all too familiar,

And it happens all the time.

All the cards begin to stack up,

Twisting heartache into fine,

Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,

But it's you I can't deny.

(You I can't deny. )



Dull heat rises from the sheets.

I'm both a patient boy,

Well, and a jealous man. ( Am I coming? )

But double standardized suspicion,

Is remedied, oh, my blue heaven,

Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.

( Sometimes, it just feels better to give in. )



And it's all too familiar,

And it happens all the time.

All the cards begin to stack up,

Twisting heartache into fine,

Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,

But it's you I can't deny.

( You I can't deny. )



We swing and we sway,

As this tiny voice in,

My head starts to sing,

"You're safe, child, you are safe."

( "You're safe, child, you are safe." )

"You're safe, child, you are safe."



We swing and we sway,

As this tiny voice in,

My head starts to sing,

"You're safe, child, you are safe. "

"You're safe, child, you are .."



Safe. ( Safe.) Safe. ( Safe. )

You are safe.



We swing and we sway,

As this tiny voice in,

My head starts to sing,

"You're safe, child, you are safe." ( Am I coming? )

"You're safe, child, you are safe. "( Am I -- )

Coming through?



Is this all too familiar?

Does it happen all the time?

I'm just asking you to hear me.

Could you please, just once, just hear me?

More than anything you wanted to be right.

Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.

( You I can't deny. )

It's you I can't deny.
