Green and Gray Lyrics

Cover art for Green and Gray lyrics by Nickel Creek

"He aimed for the bull's eye and hit it nine times out of ten."

The man in the story is used to being able to get any girl he pleases.But he just can't seem to get the attention of the one he feels he needs.

I imagine he's feeling rather alone and lost his true friends to the attention he was getting. It's almost as if not being able to get this girl humbled him and made him realize he's alone.
