Green Eyes and Black Lights

from A November Life by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

The lights around us fade to black
My green eyes, they turn to grey
I know there is no turning back

We’re standing on the edge of
Something bigger than the both of us
We’re standing on the edge of us

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
Would you want your time back if you could have it?
I don’t think I would

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
We’ll never have our time back; I wouldn’t want it
Even if I could

The lights around us fade to black
And my green, oh my green eyes, they turn to grey
I know there is no turning back

We’re standing on the edge of
Something bigger than the both of us
We’re standing on the edge of us

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
Would you want your time back if you could have it?
I don’t think I would

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
We’ll never have our time back; I wouldn’t want it
Even if I could

Please do not say this is goodbye
Please do not say this is the end
I just don’t think that I can take another night of this

I still wanna hold you
I still wanna need you, baby

I miss eating cereal with you
And watching television with you
And melting crayons on the lamp in your bedroom

I miss throwing wood down the stairs to where you stood
To where we stood
On the edge of everything
On the edge of you and me
Is this the end of everything?

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
Would you want your time back if you could have it?
I don’t think I would

The clock’s still tickin’ on the wall where we left it
We’ll never have our time back; I wouldn’t want it
Even if I could
