Texas, Me and Blue
Verse 1
She left a line about wide-open skies
Folded it small, like it softened the why
There’s dust on the table that wasn’t there before
And a habit of listening by the door
Something moves when the evening comes through
Or maybe it’s just what I’m used to
Pre-Chorus
I keep things quiet, I keep things few
Talk just enough to get me through
Chorus
Now it’s Texas, me and Blue
Call it a name, it’ll answer to
There’s a place in the room where the light don’t stay
And a trace of a sound that won’t go away
If you ask how it feels, I’ll say “nothing new”
Just Texas, me… and Blue
Verse 2
There’s a circle worn in by the side of the bed
I don’t remember how it got there, but it hasn’t left
Coffee goes cold like it’s meant to be
I still make more than I need
Every now and then I swear I knew
What it was like before all this blue
Pre-Chorus
I don’t chase it down, I let it come
Like a low kind of song you can’t outrun
Chorus
Now it’s Texas, me and Blue
One thing gone, one thing in view
There’s a shift in the air when the night comes on
Like something stays after something’s gone
If you ask how I’m doing, I’ll say “about like you”
Just Texas, me… and Blue
Bridge
Maybe it’s weight, maybe it’s proof
Maybe it’s something that follows you
I don’t name it much these days
It settles in either way
Breakdown (soft)
There’s a sound in the dark I lean into
Don’t know if it’s mine… or if it’s Blue
Final Chorus
Yeah it’s Texas, me and Blue
A line in the dust I’m walking through
There’s a shape I keep just out of sight
And a kind of calm that don’t feel right
If you ask what I’ve got, I’ll say “just a few”
Texas… me… and Blue
Outro
Some things leave, some things don’t
Some you keep without meaning to
