A Different Kind of Blue

I woke up with a different sky

a shade of blue I didn't know

the rain was falling quietly

but I didn't need to let it go

I used to chase the sunlight

running from the clouds above but maybe every color

has a reason to exist

Not every silence

means we're alone

not every shadow

needs to disappear

This is a different kind of blue

not broken, not afraid

a little piece of the ocean

a little piece of yesterday

This is a different kind of blue

I finally understand

some colors are not meant

to change

The city moves around me

with a thousand different sounds

I found a little rhythm

in the spaces in between

Maybe I'm not lost

maybe I'm becoming

This is a different kind of blue

and I'm learning how to breathe (mmm-hmm)
