  • Don't remind me
    That some days I'm the windshield
    And other days I'm just a lucky bug
    These cold iron rails
    Leave old mossy trails
    Through the countryside
    The crow and the beanfield
    Are my best friends, but boy I need a hug

    (Boy I need a hug)

    'Cause my heart stops without you
    There's something about you
    That makes me feel alive

    If the green left the grass on the other side
    I would make like a tree and leave
    But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
    Who knew the other side could be so green

    Don't remind me
    I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
    But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
    'Cause when the stars silhouette me
    I'm scared they'll forget me and flicker out
    I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
    Yeah, I didn't look, I didn't even try

    But still my heart stops without you
    'Cause there's something about you
    That makes me feel alive

    If the green left the grass on the other side
    I would make like a tree and leave
    But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
    Who knew the other side could be so green

    We are honey and the bee

    Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
    I fell in love with you like bees to honey
    Let's up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
    And pour our tears in the sea

    I swear
    There's a lot of vegetables out there
    That crop up for air
    Yeah, I never thought
    We were two peas in a pod
    To be suddenly bloomed
    And I knew that I'd always love you

    Oh, I'll always love you too

    If the green left the grass on the other side
    I would make like a tree and leave
    But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
    Who knew the other side could be so green

    If the green left the grass on the other side
    I would make like a tree and leave
    But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
    Who knew the other side could be so green

    If I reached for your hand for the rest of my life
    Who knew the other side could be so green Writer/s: ADAM R. YOUNG
