A certain shade of green

"A Certain Shade Of Green"
Incubus


A certain shade of green,
tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around say move ahead.
Could someone please explain to me your
ever present lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Or do crutches cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear,
and street signs point the way.
Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation
signed, "Choose now or lose it all,"
sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You've been raised in limitation,
but that glove never fit quite right.
The time has passed for hand-me-downs,
choose anew, please evolve, take flight
What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A private consolation?


Well, whoever knows my situation and reads this, will probably understand. I love to describe certain stages in my life with songs, it makes me remember people, places, happenings, flavors, smells... Anyways. I think this one suits perfectly, right? Certain shade of green... how bright or how dark, it's decided by yourself, and believe me, i'm kind of trying to make the nicest green as possible. Pero de qué sirve, si de cualquier manera la respuesta será siempre la misma. Puedo esperar el tiempo que haga falta, juro que lo intentaré, siempre y cuando tenga la seguridad de que existirá cierta reciprocidad - ja!! seguro - ya que aún pienso que vale la pena. Raro en mí el ser tan persistente, al menos en este sentido... time will tell! will you, someday?


p.s.- By the way... this song is awesome, but the acoustic version is much more better. Hopefully, you download it. Maybe.
