I Want To Be Fine

[Verse 1]
The trees full of new leaves
Offering green tears to the earth
To be picked and split
The tell of green of what's fair and unfair
Between the twigs, cassette tape drapes
His silent songs let melody loose in layers of heartache

[Pre-Chorus]
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears

[Chorus]
Holy song
Of all the words he sang
Oh, let this one song he sung
Be about, be about me

[Verse 2]
And I was ashamed of my green eyes
I cried and I moaned for blue like hers
I wish the black dog's eye was not with me day and night
I spat apple pips back at the soil
[?] the dirt down with the [?] of my heel
And wished for another colour to spoil to repeal

[Pre-Chorus]
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears

[Chorus]
Holy song
Of all the words he sang
Oh, let this one song he sung
Be about, be about me

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be fine
I wanna be
Crying I don't wanna be
Fine, I wanna be fine
I wanna be fine
I wanna be
Crying I don't wanna be

[Verse 3]
Out of breath on the playing fields
The wind bends a billion blades to a sheet of silver
They buckle, then stand straight
And for another summer green pours back in onto my plate
I grieve without another tear
To a new way to see myself for another year

[Chorus]
Holy song
Of all the words he sang
Oh, let this one song he sung
Be about, be about me

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be fine
I wanna be
Crying I don't wanna be (I wanna be)
Fine, I wanna be fine
I wanna be fine
I wanna be
Crying I don't wanna be

[Outro]
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears
Trees are full, are full of new leaves
Offering me, offering green tears
