lyrics

Feeling kinda sad, but I guess I'll be okay
Things are not too bad, it's just a periwinkle day
Pull my pants on and move through the day
I don't know how I do it, but I do it anyway

Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue
Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue

My girlfriend dumped earlier tonight
I didn't like her much, so I know I'll be alright
I don't mind being all by myself
I've got so many shades of blue on my closet shelf

Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue
Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue

My blues are not too deep
I'm not losing any sleep
My blues are kind of light
Gonna dream in periwinkle tonight

Life hasn't gone according to my plan
I didn't get my dream job, but I'm happy where I am
Feeling kinda sad, but I guess I'll be okay
Things are not too bad, it's just a periwinkle day

Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue
Life's not black and white, I'm telling you
Sometimes shades of grey become shades of blue
