“Green’s writing is eloquent, in a solid and dependable sort of way, a combination of keeping things simple, though far from simplistic, and that fantastic, emotive voice of his. Letting the music breath and the vocals soar, a vocal which seems to blend romance and honesty and a soulfulness with a delivery that most rock singers would kill for. Get the basics right and sometimes the rest will just naturally fall into line." - A&R Factory
lyrics
We're in a rush
Let's take it slow
Yea hit the brakes
Or else we're gonna lose control
Let a moment of serenity be a catalyst for our needs
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
We can just close our eyes
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
We can escape our lives
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
Slip out of our reality
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
There's nothing there for you or me
You gotta push through
All of the burden you go through
Don't let your worry control you
If you need relief, deliberately take a step into the moment
Breathe within it, resilient
If there's something far more fundamental at stake
It's your passion, your life, and living awake
Let's enjoy our time around while we all are alive now
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
We can just close our eyes
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
We can escape this life
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
Slip out of our reality
(It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now)
There's nothing there for you or me
It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now
It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now
It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now
It's getting a little bit harder, we're getting a little more wild-eyed now
