Couloir Bleu

[Verse 1]
I dropped down the stairs
With my map half-folded wrong
Your coat was at the turnstile
And the crowd kept moving on

The 4 train shuddered in
All steel and tired breath
I caught your eye for one second
Then the doors bit shut again

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow me
Through the tiled breath
Keep the pace
Don’t lose me yet

[Chorus]
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
We keep moving through
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
I’m still next to you
One line gone
One line new
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
Meet me on the move

[Verse 2]
At Châtelet the platform spilled
With umbrellas and ash
A violin case bumped my knee
As we crossed the human flash

The map glowed in my hand
Like a promise I could read
Four to twelve, twelve to four
That’s the way you keep on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow me
Through the tiled breath
Keep the pace
Don’t lose me yet

[Chorus]
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
We keep moving through
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
I’m still next to you
One line gone
One line new
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
Meet me on the move

[Bridge]
The signs said left, then down
I took the stairs two at a time
A cold draft hit my face
Like the city making time

Then there you were
By the yellow line
Laughing like you knew
I’d find you every time

[Final Chorus]
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
We keep moving through
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
I’m still next to you
One line gone
One line new
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
Meet me on the move
Couloir bleu, couloir bleu
I’ll always find you
