"Viridescent" lyrics - STURGILL SIMPSON

STURGILL SIMPSON
"Viridescent"

I'm not the kind of guy to kiss and tell
Hell would be this world without you
I'm just a penny, you're a wishing well
'Cause my dreams ain't coming true without you

[Chorus:]
Wanna get lost in the smell of your hair
Want to stare into those viridescent eyes
I wanna breathe you in like the air
Until the day I lay down and die

Some days it feels like I'm on fire
My emotions get so amplified
Some days I wanna disappear and retire
Wanna hop in the saddle and ride

[Chorus:]
Everyday I wanna get lost in the smell of your hair
Want to stare into those viridescent eyes
I wanna breathe you in like the air
Until the day I lay down and die

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Over the years I've seen them turn from brown to green
Everything in-between
Watched you grow from a princess to a queen
I wanna drown in your brown velvet dopamine

[Chorus:]
I wanna get lost in the smell of your hair
Want to stare into those viridescent eyes
I wanna breathe you in like the air
Until the day I lay down and die
