Green Green Grass
George Ezra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Throw a party, yeah)
(Throw a party)
Well, she moves like lightning and she counts to three
Then she turns out all the lights
And says she's coming for me
Now put your hands up, this is a heist
Gonna make it out alive
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
We go together, Adam and Eve
But the girl is so much more than just another apple thief
Yeah, she's a genius (genius), watch and learn
How she sets the world on fire
Just to watch the sucker burn
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Throw a party (hey), throw a party, yeah
Throw a party (woo), on the day that I die
Throw a party (hey), throw a party, babe
Throw a party, on the day that I die
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
"Green Green Grass" by George Ezra is full of rich imagery, with metaphors that give the song so many layers of meaning. The song tells the story of two people who are running away from their current lives and all their problems. They go in search of a new life and maybe even happiness. The song opens with "Throw a party", implying that the singer wants her friends and loved ones to celebrate her life the way she lived it. She knows that while we may mourn her death, there's so much more to celebrate--there's the good in her life that made it worth living, the growth and lessons she learned, and the person she was until the end.
The song is narrated from a man's perspective as he and the girl load up for their getaway on the day she'll throw a party the day she dies. The singer is on the run with the girl, and it becomes clear that she's a criminal, a thief that's stolen something valuable. However, as the song develops, it becomes apparent that the singer doesn't care about the girl's past; he loves and admires her for who she is.
The chorus of the song reveals the true intention of the singer to celebrate the life of the girl, and Ezra uses color imagery to convey the singer's feelings towards the girl. The green green grass and blue blue sky are an indication of life and freedom as they are both natural resources. They stand in contrast to the routine and monotony of everyday life, and they serve as a metaphor for the life the girl lived.

A voice like thunder, with a heart so pure,
George Ezra, a talent we can't ignore,
With lyrics that resonate, through time and space,
He's captured our hearts, with his unique grace.
From Budapest's streets, to the top of the charts,
He's won us over, with his gentle heart,
His music is a journey, through love and life,
A reflection of who we are, in this endless strife.
His spirit is wild, and his soul is free,
A true artist, who's come to be,
His songs are like sunshine, on a cloudy day,
A reminder that love, will always find a way.
George, we're grateful for all you do,
Your music is a gift, that's always true,
We'll follow your journey, wherever it leads,
And cherish your art, for all eternity.

Hi George Ezra!! What\who was your inspiration to start a music career?
@adriellycordeiro6032
Hey, George. Well, maybe you're tired of hearing about your unique voice (you really got it, heheheh). You're a powerful artist.
What's the reason about this new direction for your music? Plus: do you know brazilian music? For some reason, I'd love listening you in portuguese. Thanks, greeting from Brazil.
