[Verse 1] Back when the room felt twice my size, I watched that little screen come alive. A tiny hero dressed in blue Ran where I was afraid to move. He fell and vanished into light, Then came right back to try once more. I didn't know what courage was— I only knew I'd cheer him on. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we were too young to know Why that blue felt so much like home. [Chorus] We loved the blue, Running straight into the unknown. Small beneath a towering world, Still he always carried on. We loved the blue, Not because he never fell, But every time the screen went dark, The music called him back again. [Verse 2] We knew each stage before its name, By every sound and flash of light. One more jump, one more try, One more life to make it right. No one told us, "Don't give up." No voice promised we'd be fine. Just two small feet beneath the sky, Moving forward every time. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe that's what stayed with us Long after we put the controller down. [Chorus] We loved the blue, Running straight into the unknown. Small beneath a towering world, Still he always carried on. We loved the blue, Not because he never fell, But every time the screen went dark, The music called him back again. [Bridge] Now that room feels small somehow. We grew older. He stayed young. The world grew heavier than we knew, But he still shines the same bright blue. And now I finally understand What I couldn't name back then: We never loved him for being fearless. We loved that he would try again. [Final Chorus] That's why we loved the blue, Why we still remember every sound. A little light against the dark, A little heart that wouldn't stay down. That's why we loved the blue. Maybe part of us still runs Somewhere past the game-over screen, Beside that little hero in blue.
