lyrics

Me, Yellow, but not like a taxi
Not like the sun, not quite like “happy”
Yellow like lines on a hidden highway
A dandelion in the cracks of a driveway

You, Blue, but not like the sea
Definitely not like a new pair of jeans
More like the moon on a rare, cold night
Or a first place ribbon for a blueberry pie

You give me a secondary feeling
You’re turning me green

We’re like all of my favorite things
A tree frog climbing a rainforest leaf,
A green iced tea, prepared half-sweet
That spinach bit between your teeth

My first car, the CRV,
Totaled it right before you met me,
My constant companion since I was 16,
It was green like this is green

You give me a secondary feeling
You’re turning me green
You give me a secondary feeling
You’re turning me green

Primarily me
Primarily you
We go together
Like yellow and blue
Primarily me
Primarily you
We go together

Me, yellow, a lot like a rose
And a little bit like that paint spot on your nose
You, blue, like the stone in my ring
Now we’ve become a secondary thing…
