Lyrics from Live Performance
[Verse 1]
Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell
And I still just can't remember if your eyes were green, or blue, or brown
I wish I'd paid attention to the words that you had said
But you always spoke in whispers, and I wasn't good at listening
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were blue or green or red
Well, you always spoke in whispers, and I ain't so good at listening
[Chorus]
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
[Verse 2]
Harsh words from my mother, but it turned out they were nice
She said, "If you continuе down this path, you're not the only one who diеs"
A few weeks later, I was told that you were gone
Well, I still just can't remember if your eyes were brown or green or blonde
[Chorus]
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
[Verse 3]
I wish I'd paid attention to every word that you ever said
But you always spoke in whispers and I'm not in your head
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were bleen or glue or red
'Cause you always spoke in whispers and I ain't so good at listening
[Chorus]
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
[Verse 4]
A few days later, they found you frozen in your car
Well, the last time you were seen leaving the YMCA from the showers
Am I the shade or a shadow? I can't really tell
And I still cannot remember if your eyes were even there at all
[Chorus]
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum, dum, da-da-dum, ooh
Dum-da-da-da, dum, dum, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum, ooh
[Verse 5]
Yeah, things get shaky, as I know they often are
But after seven years together, I'll remember the back of the police car
Yeah, things get crazy shaky sometimes when too fucked up
But I've been in my right mind, I would've called the whole thing off
My heart pumps faster than could possibly be alright
I read a magazine a week before, you only give so many fucks in your whole life
[Outro]
Yeah, I can't remember if your eyes were green or brown or red
'Cause you always spoke in whispers and I ain't so good at listenin'
And you always spoke in whispers, and I ain't so good at listenin'
Yeah, you always spoke in whispers, and I wasn't good at listenin'
