​greenwood love Lyrics by ​elliotly

in pursuit of a cloud

2021

[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re in the woods, you have ways of having fun
Living life and spending time thе way it should be done
It’s my fault love’s all that I likе 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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
