lyrics

Green really isn't your color
Your envy isn't justified
Just wait until you've heard the lies and
Seen how this weak tint grows duller
As time goes on and passions fade
There are choices hashed and options weighed
And I guess I'm just not that beautiful
Not as tall or as small as those girls on TV
I wonder if it would be too much to ask
If you'll sit and stay with me

Oh, it's true
I love you

Dance with me, my friend
It doesn't have to mean a thing
I just need a place to swing
Between all I resent
And everything that makes me fly
If only you could take me higher
I wish your arms would stay
Here on my waist for a time
Why do you always go away?
You want what's yours, not what's mine

Oh, it's true
I miss you

Memory holds me to you
Nostalgia clings me to your own
The emptiness that I called home but
You’ve been so much less than true
And being last in this line hurts
When all along, you’ve been my first
But I guess I’m just not that beautiful
Not as tall or as small as you wished I would be
I wonder if it would be too much to ask
If you'll go, just let me be

Oh, it's true
I won’t wait for you

The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. ... more
