I'm Green Today

all my high hopes
 they were made on tight ropes
 but I didnt know this at the time
 I'm sleeping through sermons
 I'm dreaming
 I know this is wrong but they dont seem to mind
 big yellow buses
 those late morning rushes
 I'm learning to read and to fight
 we're writing letters
 booking cars like they're feathers
 I'm green today
 but tomorrow I'll do better
 and these clocks are slow
 and I'm choking on the tether
 and I miss my home
 and I'll love you then
 but remember when you're low
 and write the words on all the sticks and stones
 on the count of ten
 we'll pretend we're old
 as I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
 for my time to go
 and tomorrow will be better
 and these clocks are slow
 and I'm choking on the tether
 and I miss my home
 and I'll love you then
 but remember when you're low
 and write the words and on all the sticks and stones
 on the count of ten
 we'll pretend we're old
 remember when
 we would pretend we're old
