OUT OF THE BLUE

Out of the blue it all changed in an instant
He was nineteen when she told him she was pregnant barely out of high school, living in a small town
neither of em had a job or money in the bank
He got work on the factory floor
struggling to make ends meet but she adored him
always in his corner when her parents started on her like He won't ever amount to that much
The baby arrived, really they tried
she said lets do the best we can a day at a time
He started staying out all night getting drunk
convinced he could't deal with what he had, what he'd done. He lost his job and that was no surprise
She said 'I can't go on watching you destroy your life
You need to get it together or I'm leaving with our kid
He said 'It's probably best if you left'
So she did.

So when you gonna learn
It'll hit you hard
Even if it hurts
And it always does
So when you gonna learn
Let it in your heart
We come together and fall apart
Out of the blue my love

Five years later and she's living in the city and she's severed all contact to her old life her little girl's at school, she was working days
staying up late and studying through the night
Out of the blue He called up and they talked
he said he'd got a job up North on fishing trawlers
he hadn't touched a drink for two years he'd been clean plus he'd saved some money on the side inbettween He cleared his throat made an awkward joke
and asked 'maybe I could come and visit you both
but only if you think it's alright I mean'
she said she'd think about it
the next day she agreed.

So when you gonna learn
It'll hit you hard
Even if it hurts
And it always does
So when you gonna learn
Let it in your heart
We come together and fall apart
Out of the blue my love
Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue my love

He got on a plane and flew across the desert watching as the world flew by
It felt like he held his breath from the airport all the way to her front door the whole time. He knocked soft and she opened up
and they looked at each other both dumb struck
both waiting for the other one to speak first
But neither of em could find any words, then
Out of the blue as if on queue tryna hold back the tears in their eyes and with a voice full of cracks and a heart fit to burst
she said 'well, you took your time'

These moments make up a life time Mistakes we make are not fixed in stone
People we love are a life line and
None of us can do it on our own

Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
love saves us
Out of the blue
We all learn that lesson

So when you gonna learn
It'll hit you hard
Even if it hurts
And it always does
So when you gonna learn
Let it in your heart
We come together and fall apart
Out of the blue my love
