The Difference In The Shades Lyrics - Letting Off The Happiness - Bright Eyes

Now that it's June, we'll sleep out in the garden 

And if it rains we'll just sink in to the mud 

Where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is 

And there's no clocks or phones to wake us up 

Because I have learned that nothing is as pressing 

As the one who is pressing, would like you to believe 

And I'm content to walk a little slower 

Because there's nowhere that I really need to be 

And I find that life is easier when it's just a blur 

With no details to confuse 

Who or what or where I was 

So when the ending comes the full regret will seem obscure 

But these are days we dream about when the sunlight paints us gold 

And this apartment could not be prettier as we dance up there alone 

And this TV is old the color is fucked 

Do you see the difference in the shades? 

But the green is still close to green my love 

And I believe we are the same 

And we'll stay like this, all gold and green 

The light collects and projects your heart on a movie screen 

And if you close your eyes we will always be 

The way we were that night you crawled inside of me 

You slept in my blood the way you sleep now 

The quietest hush has consumed this house 

And when the doctors have gone and you sweat through the bed 

With the pictures and pills they piled around your head 

But just rest now 

And in a moment you will know everything, was it all a dream? 

It's too vague now to recount 

An outline of the one you loved in a life that was that not longer will be 

Stands above you as you sleep
