Crossed the sapphire sea alone Headed for my London home Dublin nights are taking their toll Kissing strangers to try to feel whole Ferrying down the Irish coast Window seat, eyes half closed I shook it off and I turned to see A blue-eyed boy across from me His eyes were kind, so I turned to ask him "What's the time?" and we soon lost track And I, I finally found a cloudless sky, a butterfly And I, I finally found a reason to romanticize being alive My blue-eyed boy Manchester boy through and through Rolled-up sleeves and a dragon tattoo He worked construction with his dad The only job he'd ever had It takes a lot of self-control When a wild child meets an old soul Blurrin' fields of gray and green 3 a.m., no thought of sleep When fairytales, they started speaking Here's the magic I've been seeking I, I finally found a cloudless sky, a butterfly And I, I finally found a reason to romanticize being alive My blue-eyed boy My blue-eyed boy My blue-eyed boy My blue-eyed boy My blue-eyed boy Oh, oh, oh, oh My blue-eyed boy Oh, oh, oh A romance novel in one night Gone in a flash, but he left a light We're just a story, nothing more But isn't that what life is for?
