White Denim - Pretty Green lyrics

Right before I met you things were getting pretty green I was on on an upswing though I could hardly hear a thing I was looking up, looking out Oh, it took me several mornings with my throat in a mangled knot Sounding out my virtues and my vices and other thoughts Struggling to remember the most recent things that I forgot While I was looking up, looking out Looking up, looking out When you're always on You feel defeated, so you call yourself lost In a foreign tongue You could hear that singin' that wouldn't wait to be sung When you hear that singing that won't wait to be sung Carbon copy portraits in a box that I was shuffling through Stuffed with paper memories that are only partially true Waiting to get a feeling about someone a lot like you Looking up, looking out Looking up, looking out Witnessed cla**ic meltdowns and devastating rain Hurried up for waiting more times than I care to say But it's clearer to us now that it's starting to change We're moving up, moving out Moving forward, moving out When you're always on You feel defeated, so you call yourself lost In a foreign tongue You could hear that singin' that wouldn't wait to be sung Oh, you could hear that singing that wouldn't wait to be sung
