Green Light Songtext
von Absence!

From across the way
He waves at me
I drink up the night
Hallucinate a bit like Gatsby
His voice is cool
His stare even colder
But his jacket is draped across my shoulder
So I think a green light is imminent

And I think
Will I be the lucky one?
When you said you needed a muse
Did you find it in the way we moved?
And I think
If I don′t go on the run
Will you say you had a great time?
Charm me with a lame excuse to see me another night


I said, "I still think of Bangkok sometimes"
He said, "I know what you mean"
But he was looking at the clock dead-eyed
If you don't get me don′t act like you do
He said, "Whoever said that? I'd never do that to you!
Nostalgia eludes me but then again I've cried
Over postcards so I think I get what that′s like"

I think
Will I be the lucky one?
When you said you had nothing to lose
Did that change after I found you?
And I think
If I don′t go on the run
Will you say you had a great time?
Charm me with a lame promise to keep me a while

(Come a little closer)
(Come a little closer to me)
(Come a little closer)
(Come a little closer to me)
(Come a little closer)
(Come a little closer to me)
(Come a little closer)
(Come a little closer to me)


And I think
Will I be the lucky one?
When you said you needed a muse
Did you find it in the way we moved?
And I think
If I don't go on the run
Will you say you had a great time?
Charm me with a lame excuse to see me another night?

And I think (Come a little closer, come a little closer to me)
Will I be the lucky one?
When you said you had nothing to lose
(Come a little closer, come a little closer to me)
Did that change after I found you?
And I think (Come a little closer, come a little closer to me)
If I don′t go on the run
Will you say you had a great time?
(Come a little closer, come a little closer to me)
Charm me with a lame promise to keep me a while
