I'm in a room full of people, hanging on one person's breath We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when He aimed for the bulls eye and hit it nine times out of ten That one time his hand slipped, and I saw the dart sail away I don't know where it landed, but I'm guessing between green and gray We thought nothing of it, but it still haunts him like a ghost With all eyes upon him, except two that matter the most He says: green is the color everyone sees al around me Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur The more the corwd cheers, the less I can hear And they don't really care what I play It might be for her But for now it's between green and gray We paid and we cheered Now we're gone and to us that feels right But for him every one of those evenings turns into a night With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend That he's doing fine with his notebook and discman for friends He says: green is the color everyone sees al around me Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur Night after night what I hear, what I write fills the room And my head starts to sway It might be for her But for now it's between green and gray I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak Then he awoke. Now he's scared to death somebody heard If it was you, and you know her, please don't say a word
