Stay Green

We're missing the way the world used to look
We're missing the calm before everything shook
There was a time in my life, it was almost a dream
But blues were still blue, the greens were so, so green (green)
And memories wait, they're a double-edged sword
There's still ones that you need, and the ones you can't afford
But then you can't go back, even if you try

And no one asked me for this advice, but erase
Your nerves, soften your heart
It's like it makes you hard enough

You gotta stay green
As long as you can
Keep dreaming until the end
'Cause when someone breaks another wish, you let it just die
Then you can stay forever green, beautiful child

And bones, they creak, they snap, and they break
My eyes get weak when there's just too much to take
And then your hair gets coarse, your hands get dry
It's hard to ignore the harshness of time

Reset
Your nerves, soften (soften) your heart
It's like (it's like) it makes you hard enough

You gotta stay green
As long as you can
Keep dreaming until the end
'Cause when someone breaks another wish, you let it just die
Then you can stay forever green, beautiful child

You gotta stay green
As long as you can
Keep dreaming until the end

When someone breaks your latest wish, you let it just die (just die, let it just die)
'Cause when someone tells you who you are, don't internalize ('nalize, don't internalize)
Sometimes it hurts, it hurts so bad, but baby, that's life (that's life, baby, that's life)
So try your best to stay forever green
Stay forever green
Yeah, you can stay forever green, beautiful child

Ba-ra-ra-ra, ba-ra-ra-ra
Ba-ra-ra-ra, ba-ra-ra-ra (stay green)
Ba-ra-ra-ra, ba-ra-ra-ra
Ba-ra-ra-ra, ba-ra-ra-ra
