Grizzly Bear – Smothering Green lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look now the evening’s here, colliding in the sky
Down here we lie and wait, we lie awake and think
All that we loved and learned just vanished in our sleep
There it goes
[Verse 2]
Down here the wind is high, and it blows us back to earth
Giving the fires their light, and keeps us rolling on
Meanwhile back in your mind the battle rages on
There it goes
[Chorus 1]
Whenever you want me
Whenever you call me dear, just try
And clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
Why don’t you want me?
Why don’t you hold me down and cry
Clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
[Bridge]
Far out in the smothering green
Where you’re near to me
Far gone, getting lost on me now
You’re never there anyhow
So don’t look now
Holding out for a state of grace
Never mind about the state we’re in
Searching on for that magic feel
To give me love, I can't make for real
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, it's getting colder
Thoughts getting foggier by the hour
Clear out your mind
I cleared out mine
So why don’t you wake me?
Why don’t you shake me down and cry
Clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
Look now the evening’s here, colliding in the sky
Down here we lie and wait, we lie awake and think
All that we loved and learned just vanished in our sleep
There it goes
[Verse 2]
Down here the wind is high, and it blows us back to earth
Giving the fires their light, and keeps us rolling on
Meanwhile back in your mind the battle rages on
There it goes
[Chorus 1]
Whenever you want me
Whenever you call me dear, just try
And clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
Why don’t you want me?
Why don’t you hold me down and cry
Clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
[Bridge]
Far out in the smothering green
Where you’re near to me
Far gone, getting lost on me now
You’re never there anyhow
So don’t look now
Holding out for a state of grace
Never mind about the state we’re in
Searching on for that magic feel
To give me love, I can't make for real
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, it's getting colder
Thoughts getting foggier by the hour
Clear out your mind
I cleared out mine
So why don’t you wake me?
Why don’t you shake me down and cry
Clear out your mind
And I’ll clear out mine
