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.
Time in the World
Colleen Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you don´t have to make up your mind now.
´cause even when you´re not here with me,
i´m just so happy that you´re mine now.
stay for a month, stay here forever.
i don´t wanna have to decide no.
no matter where, i´m just so happy that you´re mine now.
they say our love will never ever make it through the winter but our love´s so warm i know we´re living in an endless summer.
