White Denim - Pretty Green Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Right before I met you
Things were getting pretty green
I was on an upswing though
I could hardly even think
I was looking out, looking out

Well it took me several mornings
With my throat in a mangled knot
Sounding out my virtues
And my vices and other thoughts
Struggling to remember the most recent
Things that I forgot

[Bridge]
Well I was looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out

[Chorus]
When you're always on
You feel defeated
So your guardians have lost
In a foreign town, you could hear that singing
It wouldn't wake up a sound
When you could that singing
It wouldn't wake up a sound

[Verse 2]
Carbon copy portraits
In a box that I was shufflin' through
Stuffed with paper memories
That are only partly true
Wel i've been gettin' a feelin'
About someone a lot like you

[Bridge]
Looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out

[Verse 3]
When there's classic meltdowns
And devastating rain
Hurried up for waiting
More times than I care to say
Well it's clear to us now
It's starting to change
Moving on, moving on
Moving forward
Moving on

[Chorus]
