[Verse 1] I take the long way home past the county line Roll the windows down, let the salt hit my mind There’s that old beach road, faded sign Same curve where your hand first found mine We were young as the tide, didn’t know a thing Bare feet, cheap beer, heart on a string I can still hear the laugh you tried to hide When you kissed me with the ocean at our side [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the years can come and go But some feelings don’t ever get old [Chorus] It was that kind of blue, wide open and wild Like the whole damn world was falling in line My heart was racing faster than the waves I didn’t know love could feel that way Every nerve awake, nothing to lose Yeah, I fell hard in that kind of blue [Verse 2] I slow it down where the dunes still stand Sunburned shoulders, your fingers in sand You said my name like it was brand new Like saying it was something brave to do I thought passion was a word in a song Didn’t know it could pull you that strong Didn’t know it could light you up inside Like a spark you spend your life trying to find [Chorus] It was that kind of blue, reckless and free Like the sky and the sea were rooting for me I was on fire, I was unafraid Every touch felt like a vow being made I still chase that truth, that honest truth From the night I fell in that kind of blue [Bridge] I’ve loved since then, yeah, I’ve lived some years But nothing hits quite like those fearless tears When you don’t know how it ends You just know how it begins [Final Chorus] It was that kind of blue, burned in my bones A feeling you never really outgrow Even now with the tide rolling through I can taste the salt, feel seventeen too I don’t regret a single thing we knew About falling fast in that kind of blue [Outro] I drive on past, let the headlights fade Still thankful for the girl I was that day She taught my heart what it could do When it learned to love in that kind of blue
