Blue Bloods Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

All the east coast blue bloods had come out west
And I watched them argue about who loved you the best
I was conspicuously of my kind
Overdressed but woefully under-refined
With a story held together like boulders with a piece of twine

Three helicopters circling
Retreating and returning
Your photographs were on the news
And I was there just out of view


I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would′ve been
When you caught my gaze I turned away
Planned an exit like a grand escape
As I watched you spinning through the revelers like a cheap ballet

These words all sound familiar
Convictions of forever
You tied a wish to a balloon
Watched it fly into the blue
But you will find someday soon
That it will fall
Yes, it will fall
They all do

Yes, they all do
Yes, they all do
They all do
Yes, they all do
