Green Eyes

You can sink or swim, that's what they say
 You should get from there to here
 Orbit the edge of a vortex
 Till the background disappears
 He was the first man I ever met
 He filled in every space
 Told me not to mumble
 There was anger in his face
 Those green eyes
 Those green eyes
 Look past me
 A fool lies
 Only a fool lies
 There is no need
 There is no need
 Do you have what I want?
 Do you have what I want?
 His dad wore Old Spice and he wore Brut
 We loved him naturally
 Making grilled cheese for dinner
 In an RV by the sea
 Or in the desert, burning out the lights
 The final moment before
 He was alone for all the good times
 Till we stumbled through the door
 There's no prize, there's no prize
 No fight to win
 On his side, maybe on his side
 I could've been
 I could've been
 Did he have what I want?
 Do I know what that was?
 If you see who I am
 Will you be who he was?
