We took a flight to the pacific north west I've had a longing to go there deep in my chest Like a dream Left portland in the morning, headed for the coast Feels like middle of nowhere, winding down this road And then I see it This can't be real Never seen a greener green than that The sea salt air I'm breathing brings life back together We're alive and free Holding hands on the beach And I remember what it is to be So green It was so green Take a lighthouse too, we saw the octopus tree Feels like some Wes Anderson movie scene In the breeze Made a bonfire on the beach, talked late into the night We made love after bottles of cheap red wine It was way too sweet, mmh, yeah You taste so sweet Never seen a greener green than that The sea salt air I'm breathing brings life back together We're alive and free Holding hands on the beach And I remember what it is to be So green Yeah, it was so green Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh... I've never seen a greener green than that The sea salt air I'm breathing brings life back together We're alive and free Holding hands on the beach And I remember what it is to be You and I remembering what it is to be So green It was so green
