Ribbons

When I look at you
I see ribbons of blue
That can hold you up
Just enough
In elegant twists
'Round your delicate wrists
Are you old enough
To feel at a loss?

Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues
Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues

When we were three
We were wild and free
We were old enough
For real love
Now we are more
We are filled with our flaws
We're not bold enough
To open up

Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues
Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues

Give up the ghost inside of you
Give up the ghost inside of you

You fell from the sky
Like the softest of sighs
An abandoned land
Lost and found
And I hope you know
Before bad seeds are sown
That you are, my love
Good enough

Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues
Oh, I'll paint a picture with your blues

Give up the ghost inside of you
Give up the ghost inside of you

Don't look at me, I'm falling
