From the recording this is how it goes
Lyrics
Mr. Green Flags, that’s what Ive been calling you
It’s not a name I’ve used before
But when suddenly it seemed to fit, I said it once and let it stick, I liked how it rolled off my tongue
And with every day that passes, it becomes a little harder to ignore
And once I said it, it’s like the universe heard it too
And it took it as a challenge to make it so
A self-fulfilling prophecy brought every act so flawlessly, in ways I didn’t know could exist
But you’re proving the point with every little movement, and it shows
Cause I’ve become a skeptic
But could you be the way that you seem
I’ve been chasing the intangible
Searching for compatible
For so long I maybe forgot
What I been looking for
But maybe I’m lookin for you
Mr. Green Flags, that’s what I’ve been calling you
Since you showed up that afternoon, just to say hello
You wrapped your arms and held me tight, convinced me it’d be alright, to just take a second to breathe
You’ve been warmin me up till I finally stopped feeling so cold
Cause I’ve become a skeptic
But could you be the way that you seem
I’ve been chasing the intangible
Searching for compatible
For so long I maybe forgot
What I been looking for
But maybe I’m lookin for you
Cause you look like kind words
Folded shirts
A glass of water by the bed
A sweet goodnight
A pot stuck with rice
Soakin because I’d forget
An eagerness
That makes me nervous
Cause all that i’m used to is debt
But maybe I could get used to something more
Cause I’ve become a skeptic
But could you be the way that you seem
I’ve been chasing the intangible
Searching for compatible
For so long I maybe forgot
What I been looking for
But maybe I’m lookin for you
