Cover art for Green Eyes lyrics by I Am the Avalanche

"she called my sneakers tennis shoes i knew she was from the west coast"

No. Practically everyone except people from the East Coast call them "tennis shoes", not sneakers.

"i fell in love with a ship a vessel, with at least 20 holes yeah but she still floats i fell in love with the sea a brilliant tidal wave she devestated me"

He fell in love with a well-built ship that floats even though she has a lot of problems. She's still the most beautiful ship he's ever seen.

I love these lyrics. Brilliant. Adorable.
