Emma Pollock - Red Orange Green lyrics

I left a quarter past the hour to get you And drove with diligence and speed just to get through An ever-growing ma** of metal and sinew With open arms I prepared to greet you Your decision to exchange for the weekend The usual four wheels for the two has me weakened An outdated point of view I was harbored Has been replaced with a pa**ionate ardor Listen my heart it goes beat, beat, beat Listen this door it goes creak, creak, creak, creak Listen this clock it goes tick, tock, tick Missing my mind it goes flip, flop, flip, flop You mustn't let these words of mine offend you I only have a wish that I can protect you From the city to the wilds you can travel But do not leave for good or I will unravel I get the feeling that there's more going on here A little distance can be good for the heart, dear A demonstration by the worn and the weary Has turned the tables on the weak and the needy Listen my heart it goes beat, beat, beat Listen this door it goes creak, creak, creak, creak Listen this clock it goes tick, tock, tick Missing my mind it goes flip, flop, flip, flop Listen this clock it goes tock, tick, tock Missing my mind it goes flip, flop, flip, flop In search of something new It's all in front of you Listen my heart it goes beat, beat, beat Listen this door it goes creak, creak, creak, creak Listen this clock it goes tick, tock, tick Missing my mind it goes flip, flop, flip, flop
