Green Eyes

(album: Collapsed In Sunbeams - 2021)

Summer in my eyelids
Eating rice and beans
Painting Kaia's bedroom
Think she wanted green
But the weather puts you on my mind
Dragonfruit and peaches in the wine
Kissing circles underneath your eyes

Of course I know why we lasted two months
Could not hold my hand in public
Felt their eyes judging our love and baying for blood
I could never blame you darling

Some of these folks wanna make you cry
But you've gotta trust how you feel inside and shine
And shine, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wish that your parents had been kinder to you
They made you hate what you were out of habit
Remember when they caught us making out after school
Your dad said he felt like he'd lost you so I know why

We lasted two months
Could not hold my hand in public
Felt their eyes judging our love and baying for blood
I could never blame you darling

Some of these folks wanna make you cry
But you've gotta trust how you feel inside and shine
And shine, yeah, yeah, yeah

Some of these folks wanna make you cry
But you've gotta trust how you feel inside and shine
And shine, yeah
