Greenlight Lyrics

You clean up pretty good, yeah, you do

For someone from the wrong side of the tracks

You've always done everything you should

To keep the monkey off your back

But you grew up girl, yeah, you did

And now it hits you in the face

You're seeing what real life is, but here's the good news

You can go at your own pace, yes, you can

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

So swing away

You need something real, yeah, you do

To make your life feel whole

You keep looking for someone who can seal the deal

But nobody can fill the role

You tried to keep all above board, yeah, you did

Listen to your head and not your heart

It's getting harder not to fall upon your sword

And not to fall apart, but, you know

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

So swing away

All in all it's not such a drag

Loving someone from afar

You just don't want to end up a cold and lonely hag

Stuff your desires in a jar

You can keep your cool and your pride

If you can't touch you wont get burned

You'd be willing to toss it all aside, yes, you would

If you only knew how much he yearned

He wants to tell you

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

You've got the greenlight

So swing away
