A new song from Sawyer that I just can't get out of my head. He wrote most of the song in one sitting, then came back to it a week later and added the "Hey Darlin" part. I just thought it was so cool. How his mood had changed, and how he was answering the mood of the earlier part with this new voice. He debated making this song a duet- and it could still be done that way in the future- but for now he introduces the other "voice" with "she says to me..."
Here are the lyrics:
"Why So Blue"
I get into the car again
Turn on the radio
Station.
Only like a few songs
And they never
Play them.
Turn off the radio
Put in a CD that I
Know I love.
Only problem's that I've
Listened to it
A thousand times.
Whoa whoa
Time I get there
I'm still stressed.
Don't know why I'm so
Worried about this.
And I know I'm gonna
Turn out fine.
But there's still
Fear in my eyes.
Why
Must I be
So afraid?
Why
Must my life
Be so plain?
(she says to me)
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
Hey Darlin'
Whatcha doin'?
Hey Darlin'
This is You.
And Hey Darlin'
Why so blue? (Yes he sings the wrong line here) :)
And I wake up,
I go downstairs.
Turn on the TV
As quick as I can.
Most of the time
Just sitting around.
Nothing to do,
Just thinking
About you.
And I wonder what she's doing today
Probably more than me.
(She says to me)
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
And Hey Darlin'
Whatcha doin'?
Hey Darlin'
This is You.
Hey Darlin'
Why so Blue?
Why
Must I be
So afraid?
Why
Must my life
Be so plain?
(She says to me)
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
Hey Darlin'
Whatcha doin'?
Hey Darlin'
This is You.
And Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
Time I get there
I'm still stressed.
Don't know why I'm so
Worried about this.
And I know I'm gonna
Turn out fine.
But there's still
Fear in my eyes.
Why
Must I be
So afraid?
Why
Must my life
Be so plain?
(She says to me)
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
And Hey Darlin'
Whatcha doin'?
Hey Darlin'
This is You.
And Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
Hey Darlin'
Whatcha doin'?
Hey Darlin'
This is You.
Hey Darlin'
Why so blue?
