The Blue, The Green Lyrics
[Verse]
There was one time, there was sunshine
And the clouds staggered in
Oh the clouds staggered in
I was crashing down a hillside
I was tied up in the blue and the green
And there was progress
In the process of a hope that fell on me
Oh the hope that fell on me
Then you wake up in a hollow
And there's a black mark where your heart should've been
So carry me out to the garden so I can breathe it in
'Cause I'm in trouble again
Oh carry me out to the garden so I can stop the end
'Cause I'm in trouble again
[Chorus]
And when I woke that night and my head was spinning round
It was spinning round
I could've laid down and died
But my head was spinning round
It was spinning round
[Bridge]
I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
So I can feel it inside
I wanna know what it's like
I wanna know what it's like
You wouldn't know what it's like
Oh
There was one time, there was sunshine
And the clouds staggered in
Oh the clouds staggered in
I was crashing down a hillside
I was tied up in the blue and the green
And there was progress
In the process of a hope that fell on me
Oh the hope that fell on me
Then you wake up in a hollow
And there's a black mark where your heart should've been
So carry me out to the garden so I can breathe it in
'Cause I'm in trouble again
Oh carry me out to the garden so I can stop the end
'Cause I'm in trouble again
[Chorus]
And when I woke that night and my head was spinning round
It was spinning round
I could've laid down and died
But my head was spinning round
It was spinning round
[Bridge]
I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
So I can feel it inside
I wanna know what it's like
I wanna know what it's like
You wouldn't know what it's like
Oh
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
'Cause I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
And I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
And I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
[Outro]
Jon said feel it
Jon said feel it
'Cause I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
'Cause I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
And I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
And I wanna know what it's like
So I can feel it inside
[Outro]
Jon said feel it
Jon said feel it
