Cavetown - Green Lyrics






This is erosion
Grinding up rocks with your molars
A big fish swims past your rod
You can't catch it, it's far too fast

Deep hook marks in rubber lips
I see your eyes in the flowers
I'll pick a bunch for your room
Green and blue to match your pictures

You looked so good in green
I hope you're well
And you look so good with him
And I'm proud of you still
I miss your perfect teeth
I was too blunt
I hope you feel happy
That's all I want

Mess in the kitchen
I was so disappointed
I guess I got to my head
And I was too young to understand it

I get it now that it's too late
I never stopped feeling guilty
I'm over it, I promise that
I just gotta sing it out of me

You looked so good in green
I hope you're well
And you look so good with him
And I'm proud of you still
Take care of my shirt
Warm and red
I hope you think of me
Still as your friend
I hope you love yourself
Your body and heart
I hope you feel happy
That's all I want

    This hurts, bc I was in limes place at one point. But the sad part about my story is there was no orange, just more lemons. Still havent had a good 2 sided relationship for about 2 years.

  27. K.... M....

    3 am peps listening to this, crying.

  28. I.... S....

  29. �.... m....

    This is why we don’t save the turtles

  30. K.... M....

    Future me

    I hope youll be happy

    Thats all i want.

  31. K.... M....

    Today, i learned that i wasn't alone reading coments.

  32. E.... ....

    someone tell me why the FUCK i am crying at a fucking lemon dying in 2020

  33. M.... C....

    who else cried?? I did

  34. J.... a....

    I'm crying-

  35. R.... S....

    why did two lemons make my cry

  36. L.... A....

    everytime i listen to this song i cant help but tear up
    ive liked this perfect girl for almost 3 years but i know shes straight and evrerytime i hang around her i cant help but smile
    these lyrics relate to the exact stiuation im going though and this song just always hits differently. if shes ever reading this all i want her to know that theres always going to be a place for her in my heart, no matter what.

  37. B.... T....

    That’s just so sad my goodness

  38. B.... Y....

    Why should we save the turtles when they kill the lemons?

  39. S.... T....

    song: this is erosion
    me: *already crying*

  40. i.... H....

    Why am I crying over a lemon.

  41. S.... ....

    I've never cried from any piece of media but for some reason cavetown always makes me cry a little

  42. A.... B....

    No one:




    Me crying over a lemon at 3am: *crying intensifies*

  43. t.... f....

    But really I kinda don't want to eat lemon lime and oranges now XD

  44. t.... f....

    I cried but like clicked off the video when the tortoise ate the lemon it was so disturbing I was like WAIT DID THAT TORTOISE ATE THE EYES WAIT BRUH WHAT WAIT WHHAAAAATTTTT I'm completely confused but I hope the orange makes the lime happy

  45. m.... f....

    wow ok.

  46. H.... E....

    Jamás me había impactado tanto la historia de un limón.

  47. A.... M....

    When you "got yourself a citrus friend" but then comes a damn turtle and ruins it all. No more lemon boy.

  48. C.... M....

    holy crap.....
    i cant stop crying ;-;
    i hate it when i cry ToT

  49. A.... L....

    The turtle was just like "Vibe check"

  50. B.... T....

    I'd like to see the e-girls try to save the turtles after watching this...

  51. d.... ....

    *y o u l o o k s o g o o d i n g r e e n*

  52. W.... C....

  53. �.... B....

  54. a.... _....

    “i hope your happy, that’s all i want” my two favorite people apart from my family (my ex and my best friend) are the people i’d want to be most happy even if i still love him and he’s dating my best friend, all i have to do is not say how i truly feel to them and then they can be happy together and they won’t hate me more than they already do :’)

  55. A.... C....

    caralho eu tô chorando que nem uma desgraçada

  56. A.... S....
