The Black House, The Blue Sky

Let's paint the city eiffel tower green
And go on a holiday, go on vacation
This is the closest that you've ever been
But you're still so far away from your destination
You drive an hour but it feels like days
It's just buildings and buildings and buildings
And when you finally leave suburban haze
You're quietly shocked at the thought that we kill things

The black house, the blue sky
The black house, the blue sky
The blue sky

We left a photograph in letterhead
Found in the morning in newspaper sunlight
We left it lying in the kitchen chair
And when you find it, we hope that it reads right
It's never easy when we write goodbye
But goodbye is the one word we know
You'll never make it but we have to try
Give in, give up, and let go
Give up and let go

The black house, the blue sky (you and I)
In the black house, the blue sky
The blue sky
The black house, the blue sky
This black house, the blue sky
The black house, the blue sky
This black house, the blue sky
The blue sky (blue sky)

We left the ending locked inside that room
And you hold the key
You push open the door
And then you see

You see the black house and the blue sky
And you and I
You see the black house and the blue sky
And you and I
You see the black house and the blue sky
