Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

Between you and me

I could honestly say

That things can only get better



And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside

And it won't be long

Before you and me run

To the place in our hearts

Where we hide



And I guess that's why

They call it the blues

Time on my hands

Could be time spent with you

Laughing like children

Living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why

They call it the blues



Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second

Without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man



Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself



And I guess that's why

They call it the blues

Time on my hands

Could be time spent with you

Laughing like children

Living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why

They call it the blues



[interlude]



Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself



And I guess that's why

They call it the blues

Time on my hands

Could be time spent with you

Laughing like children

Living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why

They call it the blues



{Laughing like children

Living like lovers}

And I guess that's why

They call it the blues



{Laughing like children

Living like lovers}

And I guess that's why

They call it the blues



And I guess that's why

They call it the blues
