Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
Teal was the color of your shirt
Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
Teal was the color of your shirt
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
You used to work at to make a little money
[Chorus]
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
On your first trip to LA
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
She said I looked like an American singer
[Chorus]
Time, mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold
Tied me to you
[Verse 3]
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents
Gold was the color of the leaves
When I showed you around Centennial Park
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
[Chorus]
Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
And it's cool
Baby, with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
Zelena je bila boja trave
Gdje sam čitao u Centennial Parku
Nekada sam mislio da ću tamo sresti nekoga
Teal je bio boja tvoje košulje
Kad vam je bilo šesnaest godina u prodavnici jogurta
Radili ste za malo novca
[Zbor]
Vrijeme, znatiželjno vrijeme
Nije mi dao kompasa, nije mi dao znakove
Da li je bilo tragova koje nisam video?
I nije li baš tako lijepo pomisliti
Sve je vrijeme bilo nekih
Nevidljivi niz
Vežeš me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Stih 2]
Loša je bila krv pjesme u taksiju
Na vašem prvom putovanju u LA
Jeli ste na mom omiljenom mestu za večeru
Bold je bio konobarica na našem trogodišnjem putovanju
Dolazak ručka do jezera
Rekla je da izgledam kao američka pjevačica
[Zbor]
Vreme, mistično vreme
Otvori me, a onda me izleči
Da li je bilo tragova koje nisam video?
I nije li baš tako lijepo pomisliti
Sve je vrijeme bilo nekih
Nevidljivi niz
Vežeš me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Most]
Niz koji me je povukao
Iz svih pogrešnih ruku, pravo u onaj ronilački bar
Nešto je omotalo sve moje dosadašnje greške bodljikavom žicom
Lanci oko mojih demona
Vuna za hrabre sezone
Jedna jedina zlatna nit
Vezio sam te
[3. stih]
Hladno je bilo čelik moje sekire za mljevenje
Za dečake koji su mi slomili srce
Sada šaljem njihovim bebama poklone
Zlato je bilo boje lišća
Kad sam vam pokazao oko Stogodišnjeg parka
Pakao je putovanje, ali donijelo mi je nebo
[Zbor]
Vrijeme, čudesno vrijeme
Dali su mi blues, a zatim nebo ljubičasto-ružičasto
I kul je
Dušo, sa mnom
I nije li baš tako lijepo pomisliti
Sve je vrijeme bilo nekih
Nevidljivi niz
Vežeš me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ja
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
