My Blue Heaven

Album: Louder Now (2006)

  • Two sides twist and then collide
    You're calling off the guards (Am I coming?)
    I'm coming through. (Am I coming?)
    Adulteress conditioned to a spin cycled submission
    You know, sometimes it just feels better to give in
    (Sometimes, it just feels better to give in)

    And it's all too familiar
    And it happens all the time
    All the cards begin to stack up
    Twisting heartache into fine
    Little pieces that avoid an awful crime
    But it's you I can't deny
    (You I can't deny)

    Dull heat rises from the sheets
    I'm both a patient boy
    Well, and a jealous man. (Am I coming?)
    But double standard of suspicion
    Is remedied, oh, my blue heaven
    Sometimes, it just feels better to give in
    (Sometimes, it just feels better to give in)

    And it's all too familiar
    And it happens all the time
    All the cards begin to stack up
    Twisting heartache into fine
    Little pieces that avoid an awful crime
    But it's you I can't deny
    (You I can't deny)

    We swing and we sway
    As this tiny voice in
    My head starts to sing
    You're safe, child, you are safe
    (You're safe, child, you are safe)
    You're safe, child, you are safe

    We swing and we sway
    As this tiny voice in
    My head starts to sing
    You're safe, child, you are safe
    You're safe, child, you are

    Safe (safe), safe (safe)
    You are safe

    We swing and we sway
    As this tiny voice in
    My head starts to sing
    You're safe, child, you are safe (Am I coming?)
    You're safe, child, you are safe (Am I -)
    Coming through?

    Is this all too familiar?
    Does it happen all the time?
    I'm just asking you to hear me
    Could you please, just once, just hear me?
    More then anything you wanted to be right
    Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny
    (You I can't deny)
    It's you I can't deny Writer/s: Adam Burbank Lazzara, Edward Reyes, Frederick Paul Mascherino, Mark O'Connell, Matthew A. Rubano

  • Marco from PhThe chorus is from the song Wedding Dress by Breaking Pangea which was Fred's previous band.
  • Ryan from Philadelphia, PaI think its about a guy who cant tell a girl he really loves her, "Its you. you. its you i cant deny." because she never really listens to him. "Im just asking you to hear me. Could you please just once just hear me."
  • Jess from Glasgow, United KingdomIm not religious at all therefore I take a completely different meaning from this song. I love it how someone can write a song that can become so transferable and can relate to so many people and their situations.
  • Dani from Chicago, Ili think it's the one perosn you can depend on. or the one person that will never let you down. in adam's case god.
