Green Boots
I'm so tired
But if I ever rest, if I take a second
Now I'm second best
And every summit I'm able to reach
Sits under the shadow of another peak
Still I don't want you to tell me we're standing on our last peak
I haven't peaked like a mountain
I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone smile
Got nothing to open, still I'm hopin' in a while
We can find a year that's finally our year
I'm so tired of analogies
Writing in code when I can plainly speak
And it's ok to say just what you mean
Go ahead and say it, if that's what you need
I just don't want you to tell me we're standing on our last peak
I haven't peaked like a mountain
I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone smile
Got nothing to open, still I'm hopin' in a while'
We can find a year that's finally our year
You can't drink from the fountain while you're swimming up the Nile
When the current's all backwards and it's full of crocodiles
No plan for arrival, guess we'll go another mile
But all my friends further up river don't seem happy
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, all envious now
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold
I haven't peaked like a mountain
No, I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone else smile
Got nothing to open, still I'm hopin' in a while
We can find a year that's finally our year
I can't drink from the fountain while you're swimming up the Nile
When the current's all backwards and it's full of crocodiles
No plan for arrival, guess we'll go another mile
But all my friends further up river don't seem happy
And all I ever want to make you was happy
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, all envious now
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold
But if I ever rest, if I take a second
Now I'm second best
And every summit I'm able to reach
Sits under the shadow of another peak
Still I don't want you to tell me we're standing on our last peak
I haven't peaked like a mountain
I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone smile
Got nothing to open, still I'm hopin' in a while
We can find a year that's finally our year
I'm so tired of analogies
Writing in code when I can plainly speak
And it's ok to say just what you mean
Go ahead and say it, if that's what you need
I just don't want you to tell me we're standing on our last peak
I haven't peaked like a mountain
I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone smile
Got nothing to open, still I'm hopin' in a while'
We can find a year that's finally our year
You can't drink from the fountain while you're swimming up the Nile
When the current's all backwards and it's full of crocodiles
No plan for arrival, guess we'll go another mile
But all my friends further up river don't seem happy
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, all envious now
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold
I haven't peaked like a mountain
No, I've peaked like a child lookin' through a door on Christmas
Watching everyone else smile

I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, all envious now
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold, I won't lay me down
I ain't sleepin' with ol' green boots in the cold
