Pretty Green

Right before I met you Things were getting pretty green I was on an upswing though I could hardly even think I was looking out, looking out Well it took me several mornings With my throat in a mangled knot Sounding out my virtues And my vices and other thoughts Struggling to remember the most recent Things that I forgot Well I was looking out, looking out Looking out, looking out When you're always on You feel defeated So your guardians have lost In a foreign town, you could hear that singing It wouldn't wake up a sound When you could that singing It wouldn't wake up a sound Carbon copy portraits In a box that I was shufflin' through Stuffed with paper memories That are only partly true Wel i've been gettin' a feelin' About someone a lot like you Looking out, looking out Looking out, looking out When there's classic meltdowns And devastating rain Hurried up for waiting More times than I care to say Well it's clear to us now It's starting to change Moving on, moving on Moving forward Moving on
