Lyrics Green - Ben Rector

Green

We took a flight to the Pacific Northwest
I’ve had a longing to go there deep in my chest
Like a dream
Left Portland in the mornin' headed for the coast
Feels like middle of nowhere, windin' down this road
And then I see it
This can’t be real
I’ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back
Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
So green
It was so green
Take a lighthouse tour, we saw the octopus tree
Feels like some Wes Anderson movie scene
In the breeze
Made a bonfire on the beach, talked late into the night
We made love after bottles of cheap red wine
It was way too sweet (mmm, yeah)
You taste so sweet
I’ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back
Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
So green
Yeah, it was so green
Yeah-eah-eah-eah, yeah, yeah, oh
I’ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back
Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
You and I rememberin' what it is to be
So green
It was so green
