Mint Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the smell after it rains
You're the one I come back to again and again
All I wanted was
Oh all I wanted was
A chance to be who we used to be instead of who we've become
Take me back to the days when things were easier
But that was then and this is now
I made it out somehow
But please tell me
Why oh why
Did you go
Left me here to wonder what if
Wishing I was more
Why oh why
Did you leave
Was I not enough for you
Was it just a dream
Are you willing, do you dare
Can you show me that you care
When the light shines on, will you still be there
All I wanted was
Oh all I wanted was
A chance to be who we used to be instead of who we've become
Why oh why
Did you go
Left me here to wonder what if
Wishing I was more
Why oh why
Did you leave
Was I not enough for you
Was it just a dream
Why oh why
Did you go
Why oh why
Did you leave
Was I not enough for you
Was it just a dream
In "U," Mint Green sings about a nostalgic longing for a past relationship that has changed and ended. The lyrics "you are summer, you are pain" suggest that the subject of the song is complex and bittersweet, much like the memories of summer. The line "all I wanted was a chance to be who we used to be instead of who we've become" emphasizes the desire for a return to a simpler, happier time in the relationship. The singer also questions why the relationship ended, wondering if they were not enough or if it was just a dream.
The chorus repeats the phrase "why oh why, did you go," amplifying the sense of loss and confusion felt by the singer. Despite the painful memories, there is still a hopeful element to the song, as the singer asks if the subject is willing to show that they care and if they will still be there when the light shines on them. The final repetition of the chorus suggests a final plea for understanding and closure.
