I caught you laying in bed
With the music up
All the way to red
And this is what it said
If only I could sing the blues
I'd tell you what I think in verse
And I'd play you another melancholy tune
If only I could sing to you
The words I know you want me to
I would play you another melancholy tune
I'd play every single note to fit your mood
You just want to drown the world out
So I highly doubt
You want to hear the sound
Of the rain coming down
If only I could sing the blues
I'd tell you what I think in verse
And I'd play you another melancholy tune
If only I could sing to you
The words I know you want me to
I would play you another melancholy tune
I'd play every single note to fit your mood
I want to medicate your mood
I want to take away the blues from you
I play every note and every bend
To the soundtrack in your head, my friend
I want to medicate your mood
I want to take away the blues from you
If only I could sing the blues
I'd tell you what I think in verse
And I'd play you another melancholy tune
If only I could sing to you
The words I know you want me to
I would play you another melancholy tune
I'd play every single note to fit your mood
