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
