Track info

The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle and produced by McEwan. The saxophone on Deep Blue was performed by Jesse Molloy. It has a running time of three minutes and fifty-seven seconds and is in the key of B minor.

Lyle has said that Deep Blue is a companion song to Fire In The Sky, describing the songs as "mirror image love stories that swallow our narrator."

During an interview with Magnetic Magazine, the band commented on Deep Blue:

Tim: This was the last track we did for the album. The skeleton of the song was written on tour in spring 2019 for a movie and then later reworked into its current form. When Tyler first sang me those verses, I think we both hi-fived. Tyler: We’d been approached by the director of a big Hollywood blockbuster type movie who wanted to work with us to create music for the film. While we were on tour in Columbus, Tim and I had an off day and thought that we should use it to work on the music for the film. So we booked a studio, sketched out a demo pretty quickly, then went to Olive Garden to celebrate. Tim totally gutted the original production and instead of a happy, major key, up-tempo celebration of falling in love, it became more ominous, more brooding, and more fun.

Lyrics

I wasn’t looking for action

Just some distraction Just a little weeknight Booth in the back I wasn’t looking for romance Just a quick slow dance On the off chance That an off night And a side glance

Might lead me to the wrong hands

>

I wasn’t looking for you

>

I wasn’t after forever

Just for whatever I was one of the dark hearts Who thought that they’d never Truly be open

But this is an explosion

>

Of star crossed and

Blood rush and Hair tossed and Cheeks flushed

And weeks lost

>

I wasn’t looking for you

>

I said “I’ve never felt my heart like this”

She said “I’ve never felt my body” I always thought the point of love was just

To keep from falling

>

Into the deep blue

>

I wasn’t looking for devotion

Just cheap emotion But I found love, I found love like an ocean On my second whiskey Your eyes try to miss me They lost control

I didn’t know I had a soul until the moment you kissed me

>

I wasn’t looking for you

>

I said “I’ve never felt my heart like this”

She said “I’ve never felt my body” I always thought The point of love was just

To keep from falling

>

Into the deep blue
