Green always wears sunglasses onstage.
Green's first full-length for Hardly Art, Sock it to Me, is grounded in pure pop. Green’s multi-tracked, emotive vocals take an enormous leap forward, evoking all-time heroes such as Rose Melberg and Tina Weymouth, with every drum-machine-tracked song awash in the dreamy slacker romanticism of California.
Only One
Colleen Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he always knows just what to say to make me less depressed
my boyfriend is for real
i know i can always tell him exactly how i feel
and when he tells me i'm his only one
it makes me feel like my bedroom is on the sun
and when he tells me that he wants only me
[chorus]
oh yeah, uh huh, oh god, i really love my boyfriend
she really loves her boyfriend
oh yeah, uh huh, oh god, i really love my boyfriend
she really loves her oooooo
it all happened so fast
? ? ? we can try it, we can make it last
distance keeps us apart
but he is only ?inspired against? my beating heart
and when he tells me i'm his only one
my entire body shakes and my brain goes numb
and when he tells me that he wants only me
i lose the ? ? [balances] that utterly kill me
[chorus]
