Green and Gray Nickel Creek

[Verse 1]
I'm in a room full of people hanging on one person's breath
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death
I hope he still wants it but it might remind him of when
He aimed for the bullseye and hit it nine times out of ten

[Verse 2]
That one time his hand slipped and I saw the dart sail away
I don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between green and gray
Well I thought nothing of it but it still haunts him like a ghost
With all eyes upon him except two that matter the most

[Chorus]
He says
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me
Gray is the color I see around her she's just a blur
The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear
And they don't really care what I play
It might be for her but for now it's between green and gray

[Verse 3]
We paid and we cheered now we're gone and to us that feels right
But for him every one of those evenings turns into a night
With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend
That he's doing fine with his notebook and Discman for friends
