"Blue Bloods" lyrics - DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

All the east coast blue bloods come out west
And I watch them argue about who loved you the best
I was conspicuously of my kind
Overdressed, but woefully under-refined
Well, the story held together like boulders with a piece of twine

[Chorus:]
Three helicopters circling
Retreating and returning
Your photographs were on the news
And I was there just out of view

I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would've been
When you caught my gaze, I turned away
Planned an exit like a grand escape
As I watched you spinning through the revelers like a cheap ballet

[Chorus:]
These words all sound familiar
Convictions are forever
You tied a wish to a balloon
Watched it fly to the moon

[Bridge:]
But you will find some day soon
That it will fall
Yes, it will fall on you

[Refrain:]
Because they all do
Because they all do
They all do
Because they all do
