[Verse 1]
We took a flight to the Pacific Northwest
I ve had a longing to go there deep in my chest
Like a dream
[Verse 2]
Left Portland in the mornin headed for the coast
Feels like middle of nowhere, windin down this road
And then I see it
This can t be real
[Chorus]
I ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I m breathin brings life back
Together, we re alive and free, holdin hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
So green
It was so green
[Verse 3]
Take a lighthouse tour, we saw the octopus tree
Feels like some Wes Anderson movie scene
In the breeze
[Verse 4]
Made a bonfire on the beach, talked late into the night
We made love after bottles of cheap red wine
It was way too sweet (mmm, yeah)
You taste so swee-eet
[Chorus]
I ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I m breathin brings life back
Together, we re alive and free, holdin hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
So green
Yeah, it was so green
[Interlude]
Yeah-eah-eah-e - a - h, yeah, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
I ve never seen a greener green than that
The sea salt air I m breathin brings life back
Together, we re alive and free, holdin hands on the beach
And I remember what it is to be
You and I rememberin what it is to be
So green
It was so green
