lyrics

The rain fell on both of us
The night I knew I'd done enough
For my sin was just as great
In loving what I'm meant to hate

And why do I always fall so far, so good?
And why do I always give my heart?
I shouldn't give my heart. I should've been more strange.
Green girls, we never change

Outside the window, from the plane
I looked and saw at the states again, oh
America, America
Don't take me home, stay where you are

And why, if the water stands so wide, at best,
Then why can't I keep my heart inside
My chest is open still
I loved him, always will.

The road will lead me there again
To walk old streets and love old friends
But ere I make my next mistake,
Forgive him who I cannot hate

And why do I leave my heart in parts let go?
And why do I sit here in the dark?
I know I'm made for light
Green things don't grow at night.
