Been missing the way the world used to look
Been missing the calm before everything shook
There was a time in my life, it was almost a dream
The blues were so blue, the greens were so, so green
And memories weigh, they’re a double edged sword
There’s the ones that you need and the ones you can’t afford
Oh, then you can’t go back, even if you try
And no one asked me for this advice, but
Erase your nerves
Soften your heart
This life, it makes
You hard enough
You gotta stay green as long as you can
Keep dreaming until the end
When someone breaks another wish
You let it just die
Then you can stay forever green
Beautiful child
And bones they creak, they snap and they break
My eyes get weak when there’s just too much to take
You know, your hair gets course, your hands get dry
It’s hard to ignore the harshness of time
Reset your nerves
Soften your heart
This life it makes
You hard enough
You gotta stay green as long as you can
Keep dreaming until the end
When someone breaks another wish
You let it just die
Then you can stay forever green
Beautiful child
You gotta stay green as long you can
Keep dreaming until the end
When someone breaks your latest wish, let it just die
When someone tells you who you are
Don’t internalize
Sometimes it hurts, it hurts so bad
But baby, that’s life
So try your best to stay forever green
Stay forever green
Yeah, you can stay forever green
Beautiful child
Stay green
