Green And Gray - Nickel Creek

Green And Gray - 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 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
Well 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
And 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 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
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
