Green Eyes

You can sink or swim, that's what they say You should get from there to here Orbit the edge of a vortex Till the background disappears He was the first man I ever met He filled in every space Told me not to mumble There was anger in his face Those green eyes Those green eyes Look past me A fool lies Only a fool lies There is no need There is no need Do you have what I want? Do you have what I want? His dad wore Old Spice and he wore Brut We loved him naturally Making grilled cheese for dinner In an RV by the sea Or in the desert, burning out the lights The final moment before He was alone for all the good times Till we stumbled through the door There's no prize, there's no prize No fight to win On his side, maybe on his side I could've been I could've been Did he have what I want? Do I know what that was? If you see who I am Will you be who he was?
