Balcony/Green Eyes Lyrics
Will you stay with me
On the balcony
And we'll sink in our seats
as the people all leave
We can hide out as the curtain comes down
and fall asleep to sleeping sounds
When the morning is growing near
We'll see if the coast is clear
Green eyes are better than blue
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
She says this isn't easy I know
loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold
And I'll pray for the days that I wont sleep alone
She says, "This isn't easy I know"
Green eyes are better than blue
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
Johnny says don't bring her down
'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground
You will wish that you left her the way that you found her
Johnny says don't bring her down
Green eyes are better than blue
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
Well I saw you in the water last night
You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight
When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life
'cause I saw you in the water last night
Green eyes are better than blue
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
I said green eyes are better than blue
On the balcony
And we'll sink in our seats
as the people all leave
We can hide out as the curtain comes down
and fall asleep to sleeping sounds
When the morning is growing near
We'll see if the coast is clear
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold
And I'll pray for the days that I wont sleep alone
She says, "This isn't easy I know"
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground
You will wish that you left her the way that you found her
Johnny says don't bring her down
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight
When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life
'cause I saw you in the water last night
I ain't trying to be mean, I'm just telling the truth
It's enough to make me run away with you, darling
Green eyes are better than blue
I said green eyes are better than blue

the song sounds like forbidden love or love that just can't be right now. i'm not sure if its just because the circumstances are that they really aren't "supposed" to be together (It's enough to make me run away with you, darling) or that he's already with someone, the gal has greens while the woman he is still with has blue and green eyes wants him, however, because of his situation with the other woman, its not possible right now. (She says this isn't easy I know, loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold and I'll pray for the days that I wont sleep alone).
i think i'm going more for the latter because he obviously has feelings for green eyes.
