Lyrics for The Blue Route

You keep replaying through the days That have brought you to this place You shine your shoes and shave your face Throw on a suit You used to be some kind of joke And all the depths you've come to know You wandered down an open road and you kept going What happened to you? What happened to you? What happened to you? At just a quarter past the hour Chatting up some friends of yours You were standing side by side under the moon 11 sparrows on the line A hundred fireflies outside Your tired eyes were open wide and you kept going What happened to you? What happened to you? What happened to you? 11 blackbirds in the sky A hundred fireflies for miles Your tired eyes were open wide What could you do? You keep replaying through the days That have brought you to this place You wandered down an open road and you kept going What happened to you? What happened to you? What happened to you?
