On my lips
Do you always run away when it gets wild?
Bittersweet
Fleeting bliss
I guess I haven't felt electric for some time
Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh, like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
But oh, I ain't felt light in a while
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Wide awake
From the breeze
How the hell did I get so numb to desire?
Mix the paints
On the page
'Cause I ain't nothing without joy and sorrow's fire
Feels like a new dawn, new song playin' loud
Oh, this bitter peace in my mind
Felt like the stars got bored of coming out
But oh, I caught 'em up there last night
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
It's about damn time, damn, time
Damn time
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?

William, I have been a listener since 2003. (How can that possibly be 22 years. We went through a good chunk of life together!!) And I just have to tell you that this song and discovering this album feels like when you introduced me to Silver Sun Pickups. You gave me something I needed right when I needed it. You still have that magic and that's why I'm still here. xoxo

Beautiful day here in Sunset Beach NC / BLUE SKY and 75.
It's another wonderful day for a beachcomber and being retired from the salt-mine.😉
A lot of new music on a rainy day here in Germany... thanks a lot!

Well, they are from Great Britain and it can be quite gray and wet there too. I identify with the emotional metaphor presented. Good tune.
Pretty good song. Lyrics are great, they must have lived in Seattle at some point. LOL

OH NO!!!
This earworm infected me for about 24 hours last time Bill played it. It's a very invasive tune and chorus lyric

I know exactly how you feel. But I'll take it any day over mid-west snow and California wildfires.
Spoke too soon. Blanketed in snow today!

Living in the Pacific Northwest of the US, the chorus really really resonates with me.

I suppose this affirms their English origins?!
First listen. Liking it and not sure quite why. Strings? Wall of sound? I'll just go with it for now.
I really like this! Once again RP bringing the new music into my life! Thanks William!
