Gatsby Lyrics

We didn't break even

Now our fruit is out of season

And I don't know how to balance it all out

Could I fly if I would let myself

If I fall could I catch someone else

Or would I just be longing for what I'd let go of

I wonder and wonder, I turn the pages on this hunger

Reach a new conclusion every single time

In twenty years from now will I be standing on the docks

Still waiting for your green light

Why did I decide that you're the greatest

This valley of ashes leads nowhere, a household of flowers can't pull away the hours

It could take us back but only for a while

Only for a while

I think that I'm on a steady path

To go where I've got to go, and I've got to go

They say you can't repeat the past, I say why of course you can

So long as it hasn't yet slipped away but I doubt it when it comes back around

I wonder and wonder, I turn the pages on this hunger

Reach a new conclusion every single time

In twenty years from now will I be standing on the docks

Still waiting for your green light

Why did I decide that you're the greatest

This valley of ashes leads nowhere, a household of flowers can't pull away the hours

It could take us back but only for a while

Only for a while

I see it falling and it's tragic

I see it falling and I realise it's me

A fall from grace, a disgrace

Held on too tight for too long, didn't know that to love and wait could be wrong

Didn't know there could be such a thing as too late

I thought all I had to do was wait

I thought all I had to do was wait

For your green light
