lyrics

Green eyes
Windows to foreign skies
Never cried
Dried accidental lies
They look to God
Ain’t a prayer that ain’t been tried
Still no proof
Just a pretty, painted private pride

My, my
Private pride and pallets grey
Now, who’s to say
They borderline the blues away?
If ya don’t mind,
Her fairytale puts night away
And day’s just day
Green is green
And grey is grey
(Oh, woah)

She don’t quite know why scale her walls
No braid to climb, no way to fall
Why do you dare to get involved
To wait in line, to meet them all
She don’t quite get what there’s to gain
Out in her yard, shoutin’ her name
Why do you dare to play that game?
To wait in line, to end the same

She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know why they dare
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
Keeps her long hair
Tucked inside her window

Long legs
Ladders, a prince’s chase
Never stayed
Innocently walked away
Swear to God
Ain’t a pawn that ain’t been played
Still no proof
Yet, you’re stickin’ through this stone cascade
(Oh, woah)

She don’t quite know why scale her walls
No braid to climb, no way to fall
Why do you dare to get involved
To wait in line, to meet them all
She don’t quite get what there’s to gain
Out in her yard, shoutin’ her name
Why do you dare to play that game?
To wait in line, to end the same

She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know why they dare
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
Keeps her long hair
Tucked inside her window

Keep ‘em comin’
Oh, keep ‘em comin’
Pebbles pitter patterin’
Then end up in the gutter
And love becomes an utterin’
Loves to keep you wonderin’
All them locks she’s lyin’ in
She must be hidin’ somethin’ in

She don’t quite know why scale her walls
No braid to climb, no way to fall
Why do you dare to get involved
To wait in line, to meet them all
She don’t quite get what there’s to gain
Out in her yard, shoutin’ her name
Why do you dare to play that game?
To wait in line, to end the same

She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know why they dare
She don’t, she don’t
She don’t, she don’t know
Keeps her long hair
Tucked inside her window
