Green & Gray Lyrics - This Side - Nickel Creek

I'm in a room full of people hanging on one person's breath 

We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death 

I hope he still wants it but it might remind him of when 

He aimed for the bull's eye and he hit it nine times out of ten 

 

That one time his hand slipped, and I saw the dart sail away 

I don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between green and gray 

And I thought nothing of it but it still haunts him like a ghost 

With all eyes upon him except two that matter the most 

 

He says, "Green is the color that everyone sees all around me 

Gray is the color I see around her, she's just a blur" 

The more the crowd cheers 

The less I can hear and they don't really care what I play 

Might be for her but for now it's between green and gray 

 

We paid and we cheered, now we're gone and to us that feels right 

But for him every one of those evenings turns into a night 

With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend 

That he's doing fine with his notebook and Discman for friends 

 

He says, "Green is the color that everyone sees all around me 

Gray is the color I see around her, she's just a blur" 

Night after night what I hear, what I write 

Fills the room and my head starts to sway 

Might be for her but for now it's between green and gray 

 

I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak 

And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak 

Then he awoke, now he's scared to death somebody heard 

If it was you and you know her, please don't say a word
