Circle round and circle back
Who knows when it got so bad
Running round on gasoline
What I wants ain’t what I need
Climb into my bed at night
By the teal wardrobe
Still tryna fight
Eyes wide closed
Something out there waits for me
At least that’s what I’m told
Holding on for shades of green
Lighter than I’ve known
Come to lay my heavy head
And then let the feelings go I dream of better days, better days, better days
Better days, better days, better days
I’m still waiting for the sun
I’ve been bluer than the sky
Save my drunken soul from leaving
Without a fight
Eyes wide closed
Something out there waits for me
At least that’s what I’m told
Holding on for shades of green
Lighter than I’ve known
Come to lay my heavy head
And then let the feelings go
I dream of better days, better days, better days
Give me something good
Give me something more
Holding onto you
Show me I ain’t crazy
Give me something good
Give me something more
Holding onto you
Show me I ain’t crazy
