lyrics

It’s been a long week at a stressful job
So I pull up the site that sells everything
I don’t know what I even wanna buy
I’m just thinking of the joy it could bring
So many choices scrolling by on my computer screen
I’m stopped in my tracks when I see something that comes in (green)

Serotonin rising from below
Will it make me happy? I don’t know.

But does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Meaning has left my life so I fill it up with things
I can't deny myself when I see something in green

Retail therapy after long days
Makes feel like maybe there's something more
To this life of mine where I work so hard
Just to make some green to spend at the store
I'm caught inside a cycle of consumeristic dreams
My burned out brain claims this is going better than it (seems)

My bank account is so low
Will I ever be happy? I don't know

But does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Meaning has left my life so I fill it up with things
I can't deny myself when I see something in green

Green shirt, green shoes, green dice, green car
Green sheets, green chair, and my green guitar

That hopeful feeling starts to grow
Will it make me happy? I don't know

But does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Does it come in green?
Meaning has left my life so I fill it up with things
I can't deny myself when I see something in green
