Greeting Card

Emerald green, you just happened to notice
Two minutes of silence, you stared at my eyes
A little too honest, but I wouldn't know it
If this is your greeting card, I don't mind
Strawberry blonde, I just happened to notice
You needed a change, got it done in July
Halfway through a sentence you asked me to promise
That we wouldn't joke about wanting to die

I laughed it all off just in case
'Cause it breaks you to see me break

Said it all in one fell swoop
Alright, alright
What a funny get well soon
Yeah I'll try, I'll try
Well it's not a pity party
That I wanted you to see
But a humble deja vu
Of me, of me

You're scared of goodbyes now, sorry about that
How 'bout see you later, we'll go to some shows
When I'm more alive and a little more grateful
A little more wide-eyed than I'd even know
Maybe you'll stare at the green a bit longer
Maybe I'll see how you change up your hair
Maybe forget how I almost went under
And bring back the jokes about how I got there

I'll laugh it all off just in case
'Cause you won't have to see me break

Said it all in one fell swoop
Alright, alright
What a funny get well soon
Yeah I'll try, I'll try
Well it's not a pity party
That I wanted you to see
But a humble deja vu
Of me, of me

Said it all in one fell swoop
Alright, alright
What a funny get well soon
Yeah I'll try, I'll try

I'm glad you came by, I know you were busy
I wish circumstance was a more subtle guest
Writing our daydreams all over the table
And making it seem it was all for the best
