lyrics

I’ve been feeling lonely and demented and sad
So I call up a friend who I think might understand.
I can never tell if she’s depressed, or if she’s just a nihilist,
But at least when I talk, she sort of knows what I’m getting at.
But at least when I talk, she sort of knows what I’m getting at.

When we go out, we go out for coffee,
To counter apathy with doses of anxiety.
Voices flat, we talk so fast,
A flurry of sympathy and a lack of advice.
Useless to each other, but we’re so very nice.
Useless to each other, but we’re so very nice.

Comparing notes on our doctors and our meds,
Wondering why we’re here instead of home in bed.
We rehearse self-deprecation,
Refresh with wit to keep our cool.
We float on conversation, we sail a ship of fools.
We float on conversation, we sail a ship of fools.

I think I’d like a second opinion.
I’d like to believe that I’m not an onion.
And though I’m made up of layers,
I’m more like an apple.
Even though my skin is bitter, my heart will be sweeter.
Even though my skin is bitter, my heart will be sweeter.

about

The Leafy Greens Ontario

They thought: "We both play the same instruments. Let's start a band." So Emily and Jade became The Leafy Greens, a ukulele-bearing, folk-rock duo based in St. Catharines. Stay tuned; we are currently working on new songs for you!
