Green

Green was the colour of our walls
There were unpainted patches
We painted the walls without clothes on
We moved in in the fall

And every night was a ball
Singing songs in the kitchen
We never knew anything like it
And I knew nothing at all

I tried to build a nest
I tried to build a home
But I didn't finish
'Cause I never finish anything at all

Paintcans sat in the hall
We left them to collect dust
Never moving them at all
I tried to build a nest
I tried to build a home
But I didn't finish

'Cause sometimes things don't work out
Like you had planned
Sometimes, they just work out
Without a doubt, I have no regrets

I like the walls in my new place
They're painted perfectly
I look at them and I see your face
And think I'm glad you're not with me

But even still, I carry you in the home in my heart
'Cause I never finish anything
