Greener Lyrics

Here's that part again

Where your neighbor starts to mend their fence

And clean up all their woes and ugly things

And so you look on over

Trying not to meet their gaze

But before you get a good view

They're staring right back at you

Trying just as hard to see your own hue

Of green and blues

This 16:9 LCD screen

Seems to make success look easy

As if I even know what that means

So is it my fault

That my yard's a dark shade of asphalt?

When all I really want is to be seen

As a simple, lowly, sacred human being

Wherever this goes, I want you to notice

I want you to hear. I want you to know

This song as a ringing in your ear

These thoughts sing a sad, sad melody

But then, even the manic can live happily

Misconceptions of intent will get me down

Oh, the truth is that I'm actually quite well

(For now)

I'll tape a message to a stone

And throw it through your window

Just so you can finally see

That I'm not the one you should be envying

Wherever this goes, I want you to notice

I want you to see. I want you to know these shades

That sit humbly in between

Your yard might not seem so heavenly

But I promise that mine is no better shade of green

Wherever this goes, whatever ensues

These songs are my own. These songs aren't for you

But still, I'm so glad you're listening
