Green - Ben Rector

We took a flight to the Pacific Northwest

I’ve had a longing to go there deep in my chest

Like a dream

Left Portland in the mornin' headed for the coast

Feels like middle of nowhere, windin' down this road

And then I see it

This can’t be real

I’ve never seen a greener green than that

The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back

Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach

And I remember what it is to be

So green

It was so green

Take a lighthouse tour, we saw the octopus tree

Feels like some Wes Anderson movie scene

In the breeze

Made a bonfire on the beach, talked late into the night

We made love after bottles of cheap red wine

It was way too sweet (mmm, yeah)

You taste so sweet

I’ve never seen a greener green than that

The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back

Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach

And I remember what it is to be

So green

Yeah, it was so green

Yeah-eah-eah-eah, yeah, yeah, oh

I’ve never seen a greener green than that

The sea salt air I’m breathin' brings life back

Together, we’re alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach

And I remember what it is to be

You and I rememberin' what it is to be

So green

It was so green
