Music: Isaac Brock/Simon O'Connor/Russell Higbee
Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell, and I
Still cannot remember if your eyes were blue, or green, or brown
I wish I paid attention to every word that you'd ever said
But you always spoke in whisper and I wasn't good at listening
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were blue, or green, or red
Well, you always spoke in whisper, I ain't so good at listening
Harsh words from my mother, but it turned out they were nice
She said, "If you continue down this path, you're not the only one who dies"
A few weeks later, I was told that you were gone
Well, I still just can't remember if your eyes were green, or brown, or blonde
I wish I paid attention to every word that you ever said
But you spoke in a whisper and I'm not in your head
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were bleen, or glue, or red
But you always spoke in whisper and I ain't so good at listening
A few days later, they found you frozen in your car
Well, the last time you were seen leaving the YMCA from the showers
Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell
And I still just can't remember if your eyes were even there at all
Yeah, things were shaky as I know they often are
But after seven years together, all I remember is the back of the police car
Well, things get crazy shaky, sometimes way too ****ed up
If I'd been in my right mind, I would've called the whole thing off
My heart pumped faster than could possibly be right
I read in a magazine the day before, you only get so many thumps in your whole life
I can't remember if your eyes were green, or brown, or red
'Cause you always spoke in a whisper and I ain't so good at listening
Yeah, you always spoke in whisper, I ain't so good at listening
