What can time help me now?
When it's what I don't need
Want to be the reason for the rays of your eyes
For the lines when you smile too
I watch documentaries out of boredom
I'd rather have your face in front of me
How to smoke cigarettes after sex
In my penthouse flat number 4
And green eyes don't lie
I'm just seeing1 you, I
I don't see you right now
And green eyes don't lie
Afraid of stagnation, afraid of standing still
Afraid of having too much space in my head
And we go at the same time last year
Give me your lips and your scent
I can't forget you
If I could, I would let it happen
Oh baby, put your head in my arms
Why does every label of this fucking town
Have the first letters
Of our names, yeah
And green eyes don't lie
I'm just seeing you, I
I don't see you right now
And green eyes don't lie
And green eyes don't lie
I'm just seeing you, I
I don't see you right now
