Modest Mouse - Third Side of the Moon

 Modest Mouse - Third Side of the Moon

Am I the shade or a shadow well I can’t really tell
And I still cannot remember if your eyes were blue or green or brown

I wish I paid attention to every word that you ever said
But you always spoke in whisper and I wasn’t good at listening

Well I can’t remember if your eyes were blue or green or red
Well you always spoke in whisper. I ain’t so good at listening 

Harsh words from my mother but it turned out they were nice
She said, “If you continue down this path your not the only one who dies”

A few weeks later I was told that you were gone
Well I still just can’t remember if your eyes were brown or green or blonde

I wish I paid attention to every word that you ever said, 
but you spoke in a whisper and I’m not in your head

Well I can’t remember if your eyes were bleen or glue or red
but you always spoke in whisper and I ain’t so good at listening

A few days later they found you frozen in your car
Well the last time you were seen leaving the YMCA from the showers 

Am I the shade or a shadow well I can’t really tell
And I still just can’t remember if your eyes were even there at all

Yeah things were shaky as I know they often are
But after 7 years together all I remember is the back of the police car

Well things get crazy shaky, sometimes way too f---ed up
If I’d been in my right mind I would’ve called the whole thing off
  
My heart pumped faster than could possibly be right
I read in a magazine the day before you only get so many thumps in your whole life

I can’t remember if your eyes were green or brown or red
cause you always spoke in a whisper and I ain’t so good at listening
Yeah you always spoke in whisper, I ain't so good at  listening
