Reinventing Blue Songtext
von Olivia and the Lovers

Well I was drunker than I wish I′d been
And you were even lower than I knew
Most times it doesn't matter what we′d rather
There's only so much dreaming we can do

Been waking up too late for the morning
Sleeping off a special kind of shame
I've found it′s easier than I′d imagined
To tell a lie and make it feel the same

I get high, just shy of an emotion
And I can't cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin′ I've been reinventing blue

When stayin′ has been weighin' on you heavy
But leaving it too soon would be a crime
Hard feelings stitch the days together
And feeling′s getting harder all the time


I get high, just shy of an emotion
And I can't cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin' I′ve been reinventing blue

Swear that if the phone could only bargain
I′d spend a fortune just to hear it ring
But even if you called me I know good and goddamned well
There's nothin you could say to change a thing

I get high, just shy of an emotion
And I can′t cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin' I

I get high, just shy of an emotion
And I′d still try if you just asked me to
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin' I′ve been reinventing blue

Darlin' I've been reinventing blue
