Lyrics for Third Side of the Moon
Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell And I still cannot remember if your eyes were blue or green or brown I wish I'd paid attention to every word that you ever said But you always spoke in whisper, and I wasn't good at listenin' Well, I can't remember if your eyes were blue or green or red Well, you always spoke in whisper, I ain't so good at listenin' Harsh words from my mother, but it turned out, they were nice She said, "If you continue down this path You're not the only one who dies" A few weeks later, I was told that you were gone Well, I still just can't remember if your eyes Were green or brown or blonde I wish I'd paid attention to every word that you ever said But you spoke in whisper, and I'm not in your head Well, I can't remember if your eyes were bleen or glue or red But you always spoke in whisper, I ain't so good at listenin' A few days later, they found you frozen in your car Well, the last time you were seen leaving the YMCA from the showers Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell And I still just can't remember if your eyes were even there at all Yeah, things were shaky as I know they often are But after seven years together, all I remember is the back of the police car Well, things get crazy shaky sometimes when too fucked up If I've been in my right mind, I would've called the whole thing off My heart pumps faster than could possibly be alright I read a magazine a day before You only get so many thumps in your whole life I can't remember if your eyes were green or brown or red 'Cause you always spoke in whisper, and I ain't so good at listenin' Yeah, you always spoke in whisper, I wasn't good at listenin'
