Out Of The Blue - Joelistics, Joelistics feat. Kaity Dunstan, Kaity Dunstan

Out of the blue

It all changed in an instant

He was 19 when she told him she was pregnant

Barely out of high school, living in a small town

Neither of them had a job or money in the bank

He got work on the factory floor

Struggeling to make ends meet, but she adored him

Always in his corner when her parents started like

«He won’t ever amount to that much»

The baby arrived, really they tried

She said «let's to the best that we can a day at a time»

He started staying out all night getting drunk

Convinced he couldn’t deal with what he had, what he’s done

He lost his job and that was no surprise

She said «I can’t go on watching you destroy your life

You need to get it together or I’m leaving with our kid»

He said «It's probably best that you left», so she did

So when you gonna learn

It’ll hit you hard

Even if it hurts

And it always does

So when you gonna learn

Let it in your heart

We come together and fall apart

Out of the blue my love

Five years later and she’s living in the city

And she’s severed all contact with her old life

Her little girl’s at school, she was working days

Staying up late and studying through the night

Out of the blue he called up and they talked

He said he’s got a job up north on fishing trawlers

He hadn’t touched a drink for two years, he’d been clean

Plus he saved some money on the side inbetween

He cleared his throat, made an awkward joke

And asked «maybe I could come visit you both

But only if you think it’s alright I mean»

She said she’d think about it, the next day she agreed

So when you gonna learn

It’ll hit you hard

Even if it hurts

And it always does

So when you gonna learn

Let it in your heart

We come together and fall apart

Out of the blue my love

Out of the blue

Out of the blue

Out of the blue my love

He got on a plane and flew across the desert

Watching as the world flew by

It felt like he held his breath from the airport

All the way to her front door the whole time

He knocked soft and she opened up

And they looked at each other both dumb struck

Each waiting for the other one to speak first

But neither of 'em could find any words, then

Out of the blue as if one cue tryna

Hold back the tears in their eyes

And with a voice full of cracks and a heart fit to burst

She said «Well, you took your time»

These moments make up a life time

Mistakes we make are not fixed in stone

People we love are a life line

And none of us can do it on our own

Out of the blue

Out of the blue

Out of the blue

Love saves us

Out of the blue

We all learn that lesson
