[Intro] Indigo light filtering through the blind Leaving the dark of the room behind Neither asleep nor fully awake Watching the quiet morning break [Verse 1] Your coat still hanging on the wooden chair A lingering warmth in the chilly air You turn in your sleep, breathing soft and low While I watch the streetlights begin to go We spent seven hours talking skin to skin Undressing the places where the doubts begin Yet there’s a small room inside my chest That keeps its secrets from every guest I touch your shoulder, but I stay detached Wondering if this feeling is truly matched It’s easy to be honest when the lights are down Before the noise returns to this sleeping town [Pre-Chorus] The stars are dissolving into cold pale gray And I don't know what I'm supposed to say When closeness leaves me feeling so alone In a quiet world that feels like my own [Chorus] Lost inside the blue hour, suspended in space Watching the shadows drift across your face Is it real intimacy or just fear of the dark? Leaving a quiet, lingering mark Lost inside the blue hour, between night and day Where all of the certainties slip away I want to be close, I want to be known Inside the blue hour, completely alone [Post-Chorus] Indigo light on the cold windowpane Watching the blue hour wash down the lane Indigo light on the cold windowpane Watching the blue hour wash down the lane [Verse 2] I don't need a tragedy to feel this way I’m happy you’re here, happy you stayed It’s just that intimacy leaves a strange reflection Exposing the distance in our connection I spend my whole life performing for a crowd Curating a voice that sounds brave and loud But in this blue light, when the performance ends I wonder if I’m good at making real amends I miss the person I am when you look at me More than the person I used to be It’s not about heartbreak, it’s not about pain Just trying to figure out what will remain [Pre-Chorus] The stars are dissolving into cold pale gray And I don't know what I'm supposed to say When closeness leaves me feeling so alone In a quiet world that feels like my own [Chorus] Lost inside the blue hour, suspended in space Watching the shadows drift across your face Is it real intimacy or just fear of the dark? Leaving a quiet, lingering mark Lost inside the blue hour, between night and day Where all of the certainties slip away I want to be close, I want to be known Inside the blue hour, completely alone [Bridge] Maybe I don't miss the way that you hold my hand Maybe I just miss being seen in a crowded land Or maybe I’m frightened of what daylight brings When we have to put names on these fragile things The sun is rising over the city street And the blue hour passes, quiet and sweet [Chorus] Lost inside the blue hour, suspended in space Watching the shadows drift across your face Is it real intimacy or just fear of the dark? Leaving a quiet, lingering mark Lost inside the blue hour, between night and day Where all of the certainties slip away I want to be close, I want to be known Inside the blue hour, completely alone [Outro] The blue fades out, the yellow light arrives Back to the rhythm of our separate lives You open your eyes, you reach for my hand And the blue hour leaves us right where we stand
