greenwood love Lyrics

The roses that you planted are now in bloom

They're a lovely shade of deep fiery red

I play a clip of your voice then leave the room

To pretend you're in there sitting on my bed

Your pillow won't move until you come back

And your teacup still sits there next to mine

I've tidied your books and things into a neat stack

So take your time, I'll be fine

'Cause you're in the woods, you have ways of having fun

Living life and spending time the way it should be done

It's my fault love's all that I like to do

A sickly sweet honey coated burden on you

And you can tell me that it's fine

Tuck a violet in my hair

'Cause someday you'd steal me away

And take me everywhere

But you need a million lives and I need one with you

Where are you now

Greenwood love

Trying to keep my tears off each carefully inked letter

Describing tree bark and how those distant soldiers marched

Telling me how everything out there is so much better

The skin around my eyes has never felt so parched

You promised you would visit in a month or two

Now everything I write can't reach you anymore

I wish I were a trinket i could try to mail to you

Or even just a rock your boot has kicked up from the floor

And you're in the woods, you have ways of having fun

Living life and spending time the way it should be done

It's my fault love's all that I like to do

A sickly sweet honey coated burden on you

And you can tell me that it's fine

Tuck a violet in my hair

'Cause someday you'd steal me away

And take me everywhere

But you need a million lives and I need one with you

Where are you now

Greenwood love

I'll pick fights so enemies paint me with punches

I'll let risk stuff my ears with wind and alarms

In hope that all the noise might cancel out to quiet

To rival the quiet in the space between your arms

I'll distract myself with everything life has to offer

Something must come close enough to you

Or what you find in your world that I can't find in mine

As if there's someone else worth talking to

My bed's still too big

And everything's too cold

If I can't do it with you

I'm scared of growing old

I hope the woods are kind and I hope you're having fun

Living life and spending time the way it should be done

Learned too late love's all that I like to do

Now I'd give anything for one more day with you

For you to tell me that it's fine

Tuck a violet in my hair

Please come steal me away

And take me everywhere

I wanna live a million lives if they are all with you

Where are you now

Where are you now

Greenwood love
