Another Kind Of Green Lyrics
Sarah's friend she lost her mind
She left him and made it look sexy (now)
I fear you won't be far behind
Thinking I'll be the next to leave
I know I might be anxious
But I'm still not crazy
And I don't need another kind of green to know
I'm on the right side with you
I used to be the one you saw
When crying alone to sad songs
But then we go and we hit the wall
When nothing is changed and nothing's wrong
You're not the perfect hand but
I don't hit on 19
And I don't need another kind of green to know
I'm on the right side
I'm on the right side with you
With you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So go and drift away from me
Adopt some new philosophy
That doesn't hold the two of us in mind
Move into someone else's place
And stare into some other's eyes
but slowly only come to realize
That you didn't need another kind of green to know
I'm on the right side
You're on the right side
I'm on the right side with you (Oh)
I was on the right side
You don't need to lose to know that you had it good
You don't need to lose it to know that you had it good (No, No)
You don't need to lose it to know that you had it good
She left him and made it look sexy (now)
I fear you won't be far behind
Thinking I'll be the next to leave
I know I might be anxious
But I'm still not crazy
I'm on the right side with you
When crying alone to sad songs
But then we go and we hit the wall
When nothing is changed and nothing's wrong
You're not the perfect hand but
I don't hit on 19
I'm on the right side
I'm on the right side with you
With you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Adopt some new philosophy
That doesn't hold the two of us in mind
Move into someone else's place
And stare into some other's eyes
but slowly only come to realize
I'm on the right side
You're on the right side
I'm on the right side with you (Oh)
I was on the right side
You don't need to lose it to know that you had it good (No, No)
You don't need to lose it to know that you had it good

"I used to be the one you saw When crying along to sad songs"
I love that line. Don't we all have someone that we picture when we hear a sad song and pretend that the song was written about our heartache with that person.
Amazing song about settling and the classic "is the grass greener on the other side?" complex.
"You're not the perfect hand but I don't hit on nineteen" I love songs with poetic gambling metaphors.
"you dont need to lose it, to know that you had it good"
i love this line, wish i could show my ex-girlfriend it! makes her saying, i miss what we had sound totally irrelevant.
This song is just beautiful. I always question the way I feel in relationships and this song just suits it perfectlly. I could listen to John Mayer and nothing else for the rest of my life and be totally happy.
This line bridge is great, and the words are actually:
So go and drift away from here Adopt some new philosophy THAT doesn't hold the two of us in MIND Move into someone else's place Stare into some other's eyes But slowly only come to realize That you didn't need another kind of green to know I'm on the right side
So poetically and simply said... Go ahead, leave. tell yourself we weren't that great together, tell yourslef your new man is better. Start a new life. But eventually, you'll be lying in bed next to him, thinking about me... and then you'll know. We worked.
