Green Tea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were the very first
To waste all of my time
I was the only one
To fake it every time

[Chorus]
We can make it if we try
Take this song of innocence
And leave them all behind
Leave them all behind

[Verse 2]
You were the second choice
To leave it on my mind
I was the only one
To fake it every time

[Chorus Repeat]

[Chorus Repeat]

[Outro]
Have you tried waking up early?
And the world doesn't seem quite so awful
Make myself a nice cup of green tea
And stir it well
It's a game of two halves
Jumpers for goalposts
Get in my son
Score a goal
I really must give it a try
Before I die
