lyrics

dreamt the most vivid green
named it after
you fool me every time
swell with gross laughter
regain the upper-hand
to cut me down to size
co-opt all the lies
we grew up craving
you'll spend your lovely life
waiting

for change
a change to grow, to give
a horizon
I told you twice
don't you forget about

the place you found your peace
eased your tense shoulders
filled your with smoke
grew instantly calm
blind-sided by the still
aching, shaking
you'll spend all your time
waiting

for change
a change to grow, to give
a horizon
I told you twice
I warned you I did
why do you shrink your light
why do you hold it so tight
like I was holding you all through the night
like I was holding you when I told you hang tight
don't forget about your hideaway
don't forget the tide, the marsh, the clay
even only half as much as you say
touch, move, express, cultivate
I was here for your glow
your glorious glow
I was here to bemoan
to call you on your motionless apropos
I was here to give you a push to the door
