I tried to be you again and
I tried to be cool like her and
I tried to be someone I can't for you
I wanted to see the light they saw and
I wanted to lie right to them all and
I wanted to stop and call them on their bluff
Cause I don't see things like the way they ought to be
I saw them lie right through their teeth and
I saw them try to make you believe and
I saw them laughing when you said you did
Cause I don't see things like the way they ought to be
Cause I see a greener light beyond that high horizon, its rising
And I know there must be more to this whole world
Something that I can't understand, I see it sometimes
One time I saw summer in his eyes
One time there were specks of yellow surprise
One time I saw them try to mask and disguise
Well maybe he'll be okay but I've got to save myself and leave
Cause I see a greener light beyond that high horizon, its rising
And I know there must be more to this whole world
Something that I can't understand, I see it sometimes
Cause I see a greener light beyond that high horizon, its rising
And I know there must be more to this whole world
Something that I can't understand, I see it sometimes
