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 you hit it nine times out of ten
That one time his hand slipped and I saw the dark sail away
I don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between green and grey
I thought nothing of it but it still haunts him like a ghost
With all eyes upon him except to the matter the most, he says
Green is the colour that everyone sees but all around me
Grey is the colour I see around her but she's just a blur
The more the crowd 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 grey
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 desk made for friends, he says
Green is the colour that everyone sees but all around me
Grey is the colour I see around her but she's just a blur
And 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 grey
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 hurt
If it was you and you know her please don't say a word
