Green & gray lyrics

Artist  : Nickel creek 
Song : Green & gray
 
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 bulls eye and 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.
We 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 everyone sees al
around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she’s
just a blur."
The more the corwd cheers, the less I can hear
And they don’t really care what I play. it 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 everyone sees al
around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she’s
just a blur."
Night after night what I hear, what I write fills
the room
And my head starts to sway. it 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.
